Hello RHPG,just a quick one on if your getting disc errors even with original wii games.
This might be the fix for you if its not a hardware problem or software,its a simple one.

So inside the drive at the very front of the drive you will see two plastic tags as you can see one has come out.The way i had to do it was to take the tag out to get it back in,its tricky,but got there in the end ,it can only go in from the top due to little pips of plastic to hold it in place.
I have seen this reported on the net by a few other people out there.With also stories of the metal strips that the plastic tags sit-in are sometimes bent too, if thats has happend you will have to un-bend them.
So there it is,the errors that you get off the wii are enough to make you think your drive is dead,this wii is soft modded to play my back ups and i really thought i had done something to shorten its life. it works fine now.
