    ive had the same error, i think the lens must be dusty or there must be dust near the disc. ive shook the console [without the disc] and fine since

            My 360 wouldn't even read an original disc. Kept seeing it as a DVD and telling me to put it in a xbox console . I took it apart and set the laser pot to 3.2 kohms. All has been well since. Have you tried using different media?

                  If it's still not working then you can grab a replacement laser on eBay for about ?6, very easy to install.
