Why Can't PC DVD ROMs read XBox Discs?

Why Can't PC DVD ROMs read XBox Discs?

Or can they?

They can, but you have to update the firmware.
Quall would know more about it than I would. I saw him say some thing about it on a post.

thats only if I someone were to replace the xbox dvd-rom with a pc one. Incase it broke or somehting. Maybe in the furture they can get it to work in a PC, but as of now it's not possible.

And the reason is because the games are burned in a different format.
