Any solutions?
	Gonna dropkick it.

Yes, it makes the noise regardless upon startup. If it helps, It's the 4gb 360 and I just installed my new 250gb harddrive

That I'm not sure, I'll test it real quick, but as far as Arkham City goes it reads it for a bit then says it's unreadable And now it starts up, but doesn't even go to the dashboard, it just freezes at the 360 startup screen Edited by BLOPS2, Jun 6 2013, 01:53 PM.

I didn't need to send it in for repairs; I just needed to completely shut it off and unplug it from power for about a day, and then when I tried it again it was running perfectly fine. So, before sending it in and potentially wasting money, I would recommend trying that. If it doesn't help, then I suppose you're stuck with sending it in.

I'd try running it without the other hard disk, then factory reset if it doesn't come back on. Actually now that I think about it some more, it could be that your disk drive is out of place. Do you leave it flat or keep it standing straight up? Edited by Jace Beleren, Jun 7 2013, 01:55 AM.

It was this 250gb harddrive I ordered off Amazon causing the problem, so I guess I have to get another one that doesn't do that, or get some thumbdribes

Corrupt hard drive. If the OS was even partially installed on the HDD then it couldn't load properly, keeping it from goog anywhere. The grinding noise is the curios part. Unless It's just a malfunctioning piece of hardware. Maybe the needle isn't reading correctly. It could have been pushed in on the disc and scratched it up badly.
