XBOX GAME STARTS THEN SAID TROUBLE READING GAMES DISC

Please try other game discs and Blu-ray movies in the drive to see if it has failed

Hey there Dave! I first wanted to clarify that Halo 4 is the only game your console is having trouble reading, is that correct? If so have you tried getting a replacement copy of this game and trying it on your console?

If you are having trouble with your console reading multiple games, please start with our

Xbox Disc Drive Solution and let us know what that turns up. We'll be happy to assist from there, thanks!

Ok I have re-read your post from what I see it does not read game and you can not install games in your hardrive but you system does read your CD and Dvd's.

• Installing a game to your hard drive requires between 4 and 8 gigabytes (GB) of free disc space.
  
• After installing a game on your hard drive, you still need to have the game disc in the disc drive when you start the game.
  
• Installing games on your hard drive improves load times and minimizes game disc access.
  
• Original Xbox games can't be installed on an Xbox 360 Hard Drive.

Hi 4 Life,

Sorry to hear about the game troubles. Let's see if we can get this working for you.

I would suggest starting with our
Xbox 360 Can’t Read Disc support article.

As for the DLC, I don't think that would be causing the disc read error. Was the disc brand new, or used?

Let us know how that goes, or if you have anymore questions.

If you are having troubles detecting and reading the disc, I would strongly recommend having a look at the link below:
