Try cleaning the disk and the cd drive of the xbox. You can get a cd drive cleaner from radio shack or some other electronics store. I use windex on the cds.

Yes you can open the xbox and clean it. You'll need some torque bit screwdrivers and a phillips screwdriver. Please note that opening your xbox voids the warranty. See here for a tutorial on how to open it. Once you have it open you'll need to carefully disassemble the dvd drive and then you can clean the lens with a Q-tip and alcohol (not the drinking kind). I've done this with ours twice. It does helps for a little while. If your having a lot of problems contact xbox support and for a fee they will replace the drive. I think you'll have to send in your xbox though. Another alternative is to get a new xbox or a refurbished one at Game Stop or EB Games. Xbox.com Troubleshooter for disc errors |

Wait, before you use windex to clean ur games, let me warn u. Windex can potentially damage cd's!!! Most game manufacturers recommend just wiping the disc with a soft cloth (Damp works well too, just make sure you dry the disk after) Wipe in a clockwise motion and slowly work your way towards the hole on the inside. Make sure there are no smudges/fingerprints/etc. Remember: don't rub to hard or u may scratch your disk. After ur disk is clean, pop i back in and give it another try.

This is true...I've never had a probelm with windex on the discs. It's pretty much alcohol based. But do make sure you wipe in a circular motion.
