Here is the legitimate solution. If you want to play campaign, xbl, etc. and get all of your features to work on Reach. Buy a cheap MU or if you have internal MU your set. MU = Memory Unit. Move your gamer profile to the MU or internal MU. You'll have to do an update if you want to play XBL but for internal MU users, this is no issue as there's somewhere around 250 MB of space. Now take off that HDD. Start it up without the HDD. This is a free and easy fix. It took me all of two seconds. Actually, load times are much faster too. I started at 50 % loading the last mission. It's not the disc and it never was. It must have been associated with the HDD.

It could be an isolated instance of success, but I would suggest to everyone who feels like there is no solution to at least try it. It's free and easy. It's better than selling it. However, I would almost (key word) guarantee that this will work any and everywhere.

But now there's this glitch where there are four Hunters in the same room. Or is that deliberate?

  • 06.15.2011 4:35 PM PDT

Alright man, sounds like a good option till they fix it.. thanks alot, gonna try it out now

Mine has been going on for a while, but has progressively gotten worse. At first it was just a freeze once every 2 months, then once a week (Bout every 5-6 hours in game), now its every game. I start a matchmaking game. I play for a few mins. Suddenly all the sound dissappears or gets really muffled like the space mission in campaign. 5 mins later it either freezes or it crashes and pops up with the disc unreadable.

Weird thing is I've reinstalled it with no errors twice and this still happens. Help?

My xbox is not valid for warranty either as it has been fixed by a friend for red ring. Silver tray, white box.

Sometimes it says that it isn't reading once, but when I restart it works fine.

  • 06.16.2011 7:34 AM PDT

For some reason, I can play off disc for at least an hour before it crashes, but when I load off the HDD it almost instantly fails.

The disc might be dusty. It has done the same thing to me. Just wipe it off with ur Shirt or somthing and it should start working.

i had this problem for the longest time. i got so fed up with i tor open my 360 and fixed it myself. so basically what the problem is is the laser eye getting stuck on the bars. so what i did was sprayed wd-40 on the bars that the laser eye is on and now it works perfectly fine. if u have trouble taking apart ur 360 just look it up on youtube.

Similar situation. Game worked fine on my old xbox, just bought a new slim a few days ago, and right after I beat Exodus on legendary, I got a "dic could not be read error" and now everytime I put it in either console it just says "play game" and spits me back out at the dashboard if I try to launch it.

Not sure if I should swap xboxes, buy a new reach disc, or what. If I DO buy a new reach disc, it will definitely be used, because I'd like to avoid giving a terrible company like bungie a penny more of my money. Doubt they will find a fix before they break the team up on 7/7, and I'm willing to put money on that.

Stand By

Same happened to me so got a new disc and same problem. tried all the advice on here, and still no joy. Started to play halo 3 again untill i could get new xbox but that started doing the same thing; i dont even get disc error anymore just freezes half way through mulyiplayer games.

EDIT: Tried the fix at the top of the page this also hasnt worked, ive now got a warning from Bungie for leaving too many games lol. Think i will have to fork out for new xbox!!!
