I've found a majority of the time the unreadable disc error on an Xbox 360 is indeed due to a scratch or abrasion on a disc that is too deep for the laser to read. This will help fill in the scratches on the disc and allow the laser to continuously read and process the disc. This is the best how-to for fixing a damaged, scratched, or otherwise unreadable disc for your Xbox, Playstation, or other gaming console.

Let me know how this worked for you! I had a FIFA 97 disc that never worked until I tried this method!

You can also find a Family Video that has a disc repair. This same machine can be purchased via the link in the video description, above.
