Unrecognized Disc Error on XBOX

EA Games,

I am an avid fan of the ME series but have thrown in the towel due to an apparent error on Disc 2 of ME3 that has been reported by several other ME game players across internet forums; but have received no help or solutions. 

I finsihed Disc 1 of ME3 with no problems. Once I inserted Disc 2 into my console, I received an "Unreconized Disc" error. After such, I could neither load Disc 1 or 2, nor install the game. Both discs are clean and scrath-free. My Xbox optic drive has been recently cleaned, and ALL other games that I own run fine on my system. 

Except ME3. No matter what I've tried (unplugging all external components, restarting, attempting to update the game, etc), the only screen I see when I load in Disc 1 or 2 of ME3 is Unrecognized Disc. Though, when looking at my Xbox homescreen, the system recognizes the game as ME3; it just can't play it.

I even exchanged my discs for a new game, to no avail.

Please provide some guidance. I have never experienced such a ludicris and game-stopping error. 

Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply but I realized after I posted this that your original reply was for the XBox 360.  I also discovered that on the XBox One the second disc is not required because it is included in the download.  I just needed to wait a couple of minutes for it to load when the second disc message appears.

    Was this issue ever sorted for you?  I am suffering the same problem and it is very frustrating.  I have tried everything I can think of to solve the problem from clearing the HDD cache, exchanging the disc, cleaning the drive.... nothing seems to work.

    Hi, please try deleting and reinstalling your installed ME3 DLC (as opposed to clearing the cache), and try again.

    I also have this problem with disc 2. RE: Recommendation to re-install ME3 DLC, which one? All of them?
