As weird as this sounds, I've heard from many people that boiling a CD will help. I wouldn't suggest doing it if you have well water or hard water, but you may want to give it a try.
I think it's your DVD drive, though. Thankfully, DVD-drives are getting dirt cheap nowadays. A 16x Sony DVD-ROM drive is only about $30. Replacing it's decently easy. I would suggest using your warranty if you have one, but I doubt you have it anymore. All of the faulty Xboxes were the batch made right before the Christmas 2002 Xboxes were made.
