Let the Xbox update itself, when the update is done, you will be sent to the Dashboard. :)
But, try to update it via Internet (Xbox Live)

SOURCE: XBOX 360 ASSESINS CREED UNREADABLE DISK

I do believe its a problem with the disk. The disk may not be scratched or anything but it could possibly something internally wrong with it. I'd take the disk back and exchange it. Hope this helped! Have a great day!

SOURCE: I turn on my xbox 360 and it says open tray and wont read disc

I have had this happen about 3 times. The first time was when i figured out how to fix it. The 2nd and 3rd were temporary.(Just needed to be turned off for a moment) You need to shut the console off for atleast 15 minutes 10 at the lowest with everthing unplugged. I mean the hard drive, memory unit, and all cables, and adapters. Then after 10-15 minutes plug everything in and DON'T PRESS the BUTTONS ON THE XBOX OR THE CONTROLLERS. Press the button to open the tray and take out the game or dvd and put in a different one. If this doesn't work do it all over again and then put in a different game or dvd not the previous ones and turn on the console the same but then a soon as you get the disc in and closed in shut it off then open the tray and wait till you are at the main menu go into any program so you can't see it is reading and close the tray. If that doesn't work contact the xbox support line. Really hope this works for you.

SOURCE: My Xbox 360 Won't read, not one disk.

Lens cleaners don't work very well . they tend to smear the
dust and dirt around in side the drive.

I have yet to find a dirty laser in an xbox 360 . This is
due to the high rpm of the drive sweeps most dust
away from the lens

It is more likely the laser is weak or dead .
The cost for a replacement is around 80.00 . 35.00 if you do
it yourself . feel free to email me if you have any questions.

SOURCE: purple screen - that reads update failed

I finally found out how to fix this! go to this website :http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4801064/XBOX_360_Update_Files and download the torrent. Follow the directions from the second page of this forum: http://360mods.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=9796 . all you have to do is copy the $systemupdate folder that you need onto a usb drive and plug it into the 360 then turn on your 360. you can find out what number update you need by the number at the botom of the screen or if your like me and dont have those numbers youll have to go back and forth untill it boots up to the right update. make sure your flash drive is cleared out except the $systemupdate folder. go one at a time until it boots up with that update file.

Any solutions ? >> my Xbox is reading the games as DVD Film ...?

Without opening your console up eject the disk tray and blow in it to remove any dust on the laser lens.
If that doesnt work, then im afraid you would need to open up console, and open up the disk drive and clean laser with some rubbing achol.
An update would not cause your xbox to not work...

I turn on my xbox 360 and a screen pops up and says "can't find the update disk. please reinsert the disc.'' and i got the hardwaire but i insert the disc and it wont read it and it says...

Go to xbox.com/Support and download the latest update, then update manually with USB

IF your system is modified with a custom firmware then you need to upgrade to the latest firmware in order to bypass your update loop.

Thank you

What do you do when your xbox won't read disks?

The main problem might be a big problem with the disk tray. There might be an faulty wire that has lost connection and if your disk wont event turn on, there might be a problem with the power supply that supplies the cd tray. If the disk opens and closes but doesnt read and wont say tray is in and keeps saying open tray, there might be a small fracture on some of the wires or there is something wrong with the motherboard of the xbox 360. The best way is to buy the warrenty now and send it to the xbox 360.

An update won't go through

This is a common problem with some xbox 360 users and relates to internet connection, It can be down to ports or firewalls blocking connections or just that the update server is really busy and refusing connections however there is a solution. If you go to

http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/how-to/update-xbox-360/system-updates.aspx

You can download the update and burn it to a cd or put it on a usb drive/pen and then plug it into your xbox and apply the update.

It wont read on my xbox 360

If you already have the Spring 2010 Dash Update for the Xbox 360 console this can be configured( go to Setting up your Xbox 360 with your USB Flash Drive).
The update allows you to configure a flash drive to hold up to 16GB of Xbox 360 games, gamertags, videos, and other information. You can connect two USB storage devices to your console at once.
  • If you don't have it yet, you need to download the update:
To install the update through Xbox LIVE
1. On your Xbox 360 console, sign in to Xbox LIVE.
2. Select Yes, updated now when prompted.
