Just to let you guys know I haven't had a single problem with Reach since I did this.

Well, I bought Reach from Newegg. It arrived and my 360 would not recognize it as a game -- it would always recognize it as a DVD, a CD or not at all. After reading through this thread I saw the boiling technique, so I figured "why not?"
I boiled my disc for a couple of minutes, cleaned it off with some pumped hand soap (I guess something from the pot I was using got onto the disc because it looked grimy after boiling), cleaned it off with tap water, dried it off, and afterwards it seems to be working fine.
I'm about 25% installing it right now, so we'll see.
Yeah, well, it's good that it works for you. The only problem with your solution is that your solution only helps those who can't even get the Xbox to read the disc in the first place, not those who got DRE in the middle of the game. And it does seem like more and more users are getting DRE even though they were playing the game just fine in the first 2 weeks.
