For some reason every now and then my xbox makes a weird noise and it pops up a message saying unable to read disc. So then when I press ok on the message it takes me to the dashboard. But then I put the same disc in and it works fine, so their is nothing wrong with the disc. Also it happens to any game. Replies are appreciated.

It could be that your disk drive is going to fail sometime in the future. Mine used to do that (and still does) with all of my games, some more than others. I know my disks are just fine as I keep them in pristine condition and also make sure they are kept clean and they still freeze and come up with the same message. Eventually my disk drive failed and it would not read any disks whatsoever. I had to send it in for repair, and thanks to microsoft and their great hardware and repairs, I still have the same issues to this day. I may need to send it in soon as it is getting worse. I am not saying that your disk drive will fail, but it is a possibility. At the very least you will still have to deal with freezing games in the future.

When i first had my 360 i had it vertical and that happened to me. Then I put it horizontal and havent had a problem like that in a year. But if your 360 is already horizontal then I dont know.

I was about to say this, lay it down and it will read fine. I have the same problem if it is standing up.
