Check the multi-pin cable (not the sata cable) pins are all pushed in properly when you plug it back into the 360. I have seen some where a couple of pins need to be pushed in a little more before it registers to the 360 that a disk is in the drive and other similar issues.
Another thing to try is a dvd movie. Preferably try a copied disk which has no region or protection and see it it works.
