Hi there,
I'm sure im not the first to encounter this problem, hope you can help.
I recently bought a new psp game and as usual i need to upgrade the software but for some reason i get the above error (80020321) disc could not be read.
Hi trick3183, please see the below info from
http://www.krizka.net/2007/08/27/error-80020321-when-lauching-an-psp-iso-game/
Many PSP users that have a homebrew enabled firmware, like the M33 edition, like to dump the contents of their games
from the UMD to the memory card. This will save the file as an ISO,
allowing them to backup the games or play them without having to carry
any UMD disks around. I do the same thing, but suddenly it stopped
working today. I tried to launch “Mind Quiz” to take daily test, but I
was greeted with the following error: “The game could not be started.
(80020321)”.
After a lot of tinkering, I found my problem. To play any ISO games, you need to have an UMD
game disk in your PSP. It does not matter what game it is of. In my
case, I was running a little experiment with a UMD video disk that came
in my PSP starter pack. After I finished, I forgot to take it out of the PSP. Well, at least I learned that it has to be an UMD game disk, and not a UMD video disk.
If the above solution does not work for you, you might also try to upgrading to the latest M33 firmware. I found that with Dungeon Maker: Hunting Grounds, I had to have version firmware version 3.40 or greater. If this is the case, you might want to check out my M33 upgrading tutorial.
Another way is to use the No-UMD mode that is configurable in the
recovery menu, but it is not compatible with all games. To get into
this menu, you have to fully shut off your PSP, and turn it on again
while holding the R button. When you load the recovery menu, navigate
into the Configuration section and select the “UMD Mode” option. Press
the X button until you see “currently: M33 driver -NO UMD-”. Navigate
back into the opening menu, and exit. This will restart your PSP
, and you are ready to roll.

What version did you update to? most likely the lens is just dirty a little alcohol and qtip and the lens can be cleaned but be sure to be careful. You can also buy a cleaning disc as well. If you need further assistance let me know, also please take a moment to accept and rate my solution accordingly.
Thanks,

Clean the Lens and also check the DVD. Its a problem with the game DVD.
Thanks
This error is appearing because there is a setting in the hidden configuration menu that is set to require a UMD game disc to be in the PSP when it attempts to load.
Turn off the PSP, then hold the R button down while turning on the system. You will be in the Recovery mode/Configuration menu. Choose configuration, then go to the 5th option, and press X once. This will switch it to "NO UMD". Then press X on "Back", then "Exit". Once you restart you should be able to load the ISOs, CSOs etc. without getting the 80020321 error.
Hope this helps you!
