punx-
If you haven't sent it back yet, and can open the case without making it obvious (voiding warranty), you can check the IDE cable. It sounds as if either:
a) The power cable is loose or the DVD drive is dead, or
b) The IDE cable came slightly out of it's socket.
The PIO/DMA error simply means the BIOS cannot talk to the DVD drive. It could be more serious, but more serious problems would generally prevent the Xbox from turning on. I don't want you to unnessecarily void your warranty, but on the flip side, it might save you $80. *shrug*
