Odds are your Xbox doesnt have a proper connection. Try taking the Xbox apart and reconnecting all the wires within the Xbox and then turn it on again (leave the top off) if it works put the top back on, if not take out the IDE cables (long take like wires that connect to harddrive and disk drive) and replace them with noremal PC IDE cables.
