I've got a few games that I want to try out on my buddy's Xbox 360, but I've heard that not every Xbox game can work with the new system.
Is there any way to get around this issue?

Magic.
Or find someone with an old X-box.
Backwards compatability is not something you can get around. It's like putting a Dreamcast disc in a Playstation one. It ain't gonna work, no matter how much you do.
However, they're slowly updating the backwards compatability list. If you go to the X-box website, you can check the lists they have online and if it's not compatible, you're out of luck unless you know someone with a plain ol' X-Box.

Sadly there's no way to go around it. At least officially that I know of. Heres a list of original xbox games the 360 can play.

Keep in mind that the emulation for some them is horrible, KOTOR for example suffers from severe stuttering and lost of sound at times.

And Phantom Crash runs slowly, but most games run as well as they did on the original Xbox.

With the last update dating back to November, I think we'll be lucky to ever get more BC titles.

ralli sport challenge 2 is my fav racing game ever, and they never made it work for the 360 
they did the first one, then never bothered with the second.
It sucks, cuz i have an original xbox but the cd drive craps out all the time, they're defective, so im not gonna try to buy another xbox.

Thanks for this, I wanted to know if I could get Halo 2 and republic Commando to go on on Xbox 360. It's good to know I can.

Yeah, that got annoying when I was grinding in KOTOR 2.

You can tell what sort of DVD drive an Xbox 1 has by the shape of the DVD tray if you get one of the more reliable models you should be fine.
Whatever mine are both of them work fine - and I've used my old Black Xbox as a default DVD player since launch. and I've used it for hours at a time.
If you are having repeated trouble it might be something else that is a problem - such as are you allowing adiquate cooling of the machine (putting almost any machine directly on carpet can kill them especially Dreamcasts or PS2s ) ? is your power supply prone to spikes ?
I've never really heard that many complaints about the original Xbox except for it sometimes scratching disks.
