Check if the disc region matches your Xbox 360's region. Not all discs are region-free, and a mismatch can cause recognition issues.
Hey there! Try cleaning the disc first. Sometimes a little smudge or scratch can cause it not to read. Use a soft cloth and wipe from the inside out.
Update your console's firmware. An outdated firmware can lead to compatibility issues with some discs. Go to settings and check for updates.
Honestly, just get a new disc. Sometimes, it's an issue with the disc itself, and no amount of cleaning or resetting will fix it.
