Try cleaning the disc and the console鈥檚 disc drive. Dust and smudges can mess up the reading!
I've had this issue, and a quick reboot of the console fixed it. Seems basic, but sometimes that's all it takes.
Hot take: Your disc drive might just be on its last legs. Consider getting it checked or possibly replaced.
Make sure the disc is actually an Xbox game or DVD. It sounds obvious, but hey, mistakes happen!
