Hello there...
Sony seems a choosy brand so it looks like your disc is not recognized by it. Check also your disc for scratches or you just need to clean your disc first before you can use it. Try it. If this doesn't help, try inserting your disc to other CD-ROM. See if your disc is okay. Hope this helps...

Sounds like an issue with the optical drive. I would suggest trying a different type of disc in the drive ( I think they can play music CD's as well as DVD discs). You might just need a replacement drive for it.
If console will not read any discs (dvd cd or bluray)
If you hear it spinning
1 Either the lasers is bad (replace laser)
2 spinner is bad
3 Or drive board is bad cant be controller chip (send into sony or replace chip)
If you do not hear it spinning
drive may be off track not completly loading the discs
To best respond to your question, let me review what happens when the unit tries to read the disc. First a check is made to see if a disc is present at all. If a disc is detected, the next step is to spin it up. You should be able to hear this happen. OInce the disc is spinning, the initial track (closest to the center of the disc) is read. If the read fails, a number of times, the mesasge about not reading the disc is presented. This failure can be caused by a number of different things:
1) The lens is dirty
2) The disc is not spining at the correct speed
3) The disc did not get up to speed fast enough
4) The loading sequence did not complete.
5) Defective optics
I will list the typical solution for each of the possibilities above:
1) Clean the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol and try again.
2) Replace the optics assembly (motor is not a replacement part.)
3) Same as #2
4) Replace the loading belt located under the tray. (get help with this as it is a bit tricky to do without mis-timing the loading sequence.)
5) Replace the optics asembly.
To confirm that the optics are actually defective, try playing a music CD. If a music CD will play but a game or DVD will not and you have cleaned the lens, then the optics are likely to be defective. A game or DVD requires a different (higher) level of laser light to function than a CD.
u need to take apart your xbox and remove the dvd drive:
then you need to crack open the dvd drive
once open if you look at the top part of the drive that would hold your game/disc youl notice that it is infact two pieces that are magnetinc and they will be stuck together
what you need to do is seperate them
then take the smaller piece and locate where it has come from
this is the centre on the dvd drive like on the pc where you would push the game on to
you need to super glue the small piece back into positon
reassemble let dry and it will now be working..
i no its hard to understanmd what ive written hear but this is a really easy fix...
