If it is an older Xbox your Xbox drive might not bebale to read the blank DVD media your using. Can you put in an orignal game in and play it?

Another thing you can try is:

Put in an orignel game and rip it to your Xbox harddrive with dvd2Xbox and see if it will play off your hard drive.

Or

Rip the game to your hard drive on your computer and FTP the game folder onto your hard drive and then try playing the game off your hard drive. If it plays off your hard drive then more then likly your old Xbox DVD drive wont read the balnk DVD media your using.
