Hey guys, i'm not really the most tech savvy person so i figured i'd ask here, been having this problem for alittle over 7 months and due to the fact that i have opened my xbox already numerous times (and the fact i don't want to give microsoft any extra money) i cannot return it to get it fixed nor do i have the money right now to buy a new one. The problem is i put in a game and the xbox screen pops up and the cd drive goes quiet, i pop in a dvd, it reads it, i take the dvd out and quickly pop in a game and it loads up. Coding error in my drive maybe? i do not know. Any advice would be helpful. it's a 2006 model with the hitachi drive if i'm not mistaken.

This is how to fix it,

there is a gap on top op ur closed disc tray, get a small peice of card and rub it up and down for a minute,
This will be putting the Magnet more away from each other,


This works 75%

worked for me

same happened to me so what i done was go to memory press the Y button then clicked on clear system cache whiched removed all updates etc then when you loaded up the game you wanted to play you would need to download the updates again they will apear automatically and from then ive never had a problem with mine since (touch wood) hope it works for you to
