Tthe problem is with the dvd drive in your 360. If your console is still under warranty, Microsoft will repair it for free.

If you console is not under warranty, you can login on www.xbox.com using the email account associated with your gamertag and open a support case to have your console fixed. Using this method, the repair cost will be $99.00

Or, you can call 1 800 4my xbox and speak with a customer support tech and have them open the support case for you. Using this method, the repair cost will $120.00

Says "insert xbox 360 disk only"

common problem, the disks arent clean, clean them with rubbing alcohol, nail poolish, eye glass cleaner. if they are new disks then u were ripped off, go back to place of purchase and tell em.

Problem with xbox 360

With my xbox 360 as for instance last night i downloaded a new map for halo 3 and shortly there after i started to have issues of freezing the game would stop and lag and i would have a checkered screen come up where ever there was white.

If you have downloaded anything to your hard drive delete it it is probably a corrupted file. IE music game profiles pictures. anything that you have recently downloaded. if that doesnt work i would hope that its under warranty and microsoft can bite the bullet.
