    Well when you swap in a new drive you need to extract the key of your old drive and flash it to the new one, they also need to be the same type you can no longer 'spoof' drives since the Kinect update :)

    what make dvd drive is in your xbox and what dvd did you buy

    if it is the same model of drive it is just matter of swapping boards.
    if its different make or model it needs to be "spoofed".

    if u find it problematic either post it here or have a look at Console Modding services sticky and pm your local modder (ie me if you are in Dublin ;P)

    The drive that was in it was a Philips-liteon and the one I got to replace it was a philips-benq even though I ordered the liteon one.

    That won't do you'll need a Liteon, BenQ aren't compatible and since the Kinect Dashboard with AP2.5 came out spoofing a DVD drive is no longer possible.

    So again, its not possible to use a spoofed drive on XBL anymore.

    Ok let's assume the OP wants to keep Xbox Live funcionality why not just buy the same model, extract the key from the old drive and flash it to the new one? Your going to do the same amount of work by spoofing why not do it right?
