@AbysmalGamma927 Is your Reach disc an original or a copy because the recent xbox update stopped burned copies from working, that might be the problem. Try a original copy of Halo: Reach and see what happens.

I think your problem their is that you are using a unauthorized disk image.

The easiest and only way I will tell you to solve this problem is to use a retail copy of the game and not the pirated version (If you don't have one then buy it)

So.I dont get it.I found out what it is AP 2.5

  • 02.04.2011 11:18 AM PDT

Sometimes that happens to me so i just look at the disc then the xbox . so i just blow in the xbox a couple times then put in the disc.finally that will work , but if it does not work ............................. turn it off without the game being in there. turn it back on. and it should work. if not............... RETURN IT AND REFUND!

Halo Reach Stats <-- File Share vids = Epic Fail

I had this problem for a while when I just got the game. My xbox is the MW2 Limited Edition so that wasn't the problem. I was confused when it registered as a DVD. it's workin fine now and has been for a couple months, so i have no worries. i hope u get it working

So do i need to call MS again after i was told there is nothing they can do?


Yes. They may not be able to supply you with an immediate resolution, and each case may require a different support approach, but no matter the case or ultimate resolution, you should be calling 1-800-4-MY-XBOX, registering a support claim, and recording your case ID.

I know it sucks to buy a game and not be able to play it. Please bear with us.


So I have called Microsoft twice regarding this issue and their resolution is for me to pay $120 to get my console fixed when it is clearly an issue with reach and my 1st gen xbox. I have purchased multiple halo reach copies (regular, and limited Edition). still microsoft tells me i need to pay them 120 dollars to fix their issue. I have been an xbox owner since the first xbox came out till now. I have been through something like i think 9 xboxes. Just gets old. Problem after problem after problem. And i'm paying for the fixes.

another option is a console repair shop and if u have the origional consol with the old reader that has problems reading the dual layer disk pay $25 for a new disk drive (silver face/gray or black tray) and another $10-20 for instal if u have the shop do it. problem is finding a retal shop that wont void ur warrenty if urs is still under it so i say do a lil reaserch first

i have this same freakin problem i waited for about 3 hours for my friend to get the game for me (fully wrapped and had the tab on it) to find it saying disc could not be read, so i clean it then it says play dvd i was like wtf, then it says mixed media player and then open tray? wtf is going on?

  • 02.11.2011 7:06 PM PDT

I have the same exact problem. :/ Has switching discs for a new one proven to be effective at all?

  • 02.12.2011 7:22 AM PDT

My Reach disk is nearly Flawless but, it will not load anything. it worked fine until about a month Ago it will just say content failed to load for everything campaign, firefight, forge, and multiplayer what do i need to do to get it to work i am dissapointed because like i said the disk is almost flawless.

This has happened to me periodically since around august. It seems that most of the newer games, pretty much any game that has the new green thing on the cover (this thing) won't always read properly.
I called xbox and they told me to clear the hard drive's cache (system settings - memory settings- highlight hard drive, click y) a few times then open and close the disk tray. worked once, but didn't work tonight. Haven't been able to play any game. I think it's a problem with the hardware of the xbox not the games. But if some people are trying it with new xboxes than i don't know what is going on.

My disc isn't working either. I tried patching it up with glue and duct-tape, but it refuses to work. Does anyone have any idea why?
