Skyrim (only) Disc Unreadable Error

I bought my skyrim off the marketplace and I still get the unreadable disc, when there isn't even a disc.

Skyrim Unable to read, tried all reasons.

I bought skyrim. It didnt work on my Xbox. I cleaned it. Unreadable. I re-did my cache. Unreadable. I downloaded the game to my hard drive. Unreadable. I remove hard-Drive. Unreadable.

I played skyrim (Same disc) on my friends console. I happily played for hours.

This is also not a regional issue, nor a problem with my xbox being able to read games. I played bulletstorm immediatly after my attempt with skyrim.

What is wrong? It is clearly not a disc problem, or hard drive problem.

What is wrong with it?

Is it only Skyrim that is affected? What about other game discs, or DVDs? You need to determine if the drive itself is faulty, or if it's something specific to your Skyrim discs.

Been having a similar problem with the digital download of Skyrim SE. It keeps stopping at 5.6GB, even with multiple attempts. I already sent a message to Bethesda but since I was getting it through the XBOX Store. I figured it'd be a good idea if anyone
else has had a similar issue.

You can download Skyrim from the marketplace now. Extra expense, but It would cure your "Disc unreadable" error as there won't be a disc.

I'm having the exact same problem with Oblivion. I downloaded it straight to my hard drive and it says that the disc is unreadable. Funny thing is, I had the same problem with Skyrim, The only difference was that I had the disc with Skyrim, which was flawless
and unscratched. Both games give me the "disc unreadable" screen. On Skyrim when I try to load a game and Oblivion simply never even gets past the opening credits.

I tried installing Skyrim and re-downloading Oblivion, clearing my cache... It must be my xbox, since my other friend can run the disc easily. I have a 360 slim.

I tried installing the game but it still doesn't work. I continue to get the disc unreadable error.
