Try another disc.

If it reads, it's your Reach disc.

If it doesn't, it's your Xbox.

If this doesn't work, try taking out all the cables on your xbox and then plugging them back in.

Try talking very friendly to your disc, explain him that you need him to live, and that you can't live without him... He will understand and he will make himself readable

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

I just keep opening and closing it. Eventually it works (for me at least).

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Get some liquid soap and a soft cloth, run some water on it and clean out any dust and whatnot off of the disk. You should also install disks to your hard drive if you play them a lot because it will make reading the disk easier for the Xbox.

Clean it, install it and learn to look after your games better.

I've done that and still it doesn't work. I've found out that its not the disc its my xbox, on my friends xbox my reach disc works.

3 initial options ...

1) There is a known problem with reach disks screwing with your xbox. As Urk put it 'I know it sucks to buy a game and not be able to play it. Please bear with us.' ... just hope you can bear ro wait a LONG time as kinda thing bungie have let this one slip.

2) Known problem with drive cache (sorry, dont have link handy). Can be caused by powering down your xbox when drive is in the state of being open (so not fully open or closed). The drives own cache gets screwed (only some models). Easiest way to reset it to remove the disk, close tray and then from the console attempt to read the disk. You will hear the confused heads try to seek and in about 2 seconds it will come up no-disk.
Now open tray normally, inser disk and you should be good.

3) laser misaligned/dirty. Difficult to clean the laser (although there are some online guides) ... even more difficult to align ... suggest sending it for repair but expect a nasty bill.
