my xbox 360 acts as a glorified dvd player at times and wont play 360 games. is there a work around for this?

Question

my 360 has been acting up. when i put a dvd, audio cd, or original xbox game in my 360, they all start up without fail. when i put my 360 games in the 360, it acts like the discs are dvd's and not 360 games. it displays a message stating "to play this game, insert it into a xbox 360". sometimes after ejecting and inserting my 360 game several times the games will startup (except for halo 3. it never wants to startup.)

so i pose this question. is there a work around to trick the 360 into playing the 360 games consistantly, or am i going to have to send my xbox in for repairs?

btw, i have already tried to remove the hard drive and removed related files to games. any and all feed back is greatly appreciated.
