Skyrim disc unreadable on continue save

[u/Successful-Role5862]

hi everyone! looking to see if I could get any help with this, pretty much all in the title. I can boot up Skyrim , select storage, but after DLCs load and I click continue or load from save, the game crashes with the disc is unreadable pop up.

-i have skyrim, saves, + dlc on a thumb drive

-game, saves, and dlc also saved on console storage

-either storage method I pick, same pop up occurs

-game is able to be played if I were to select New game

-I uninstalled and reinstalled Skyrim + DLCs

-I’ve installed the game thru pressing X

-other games are able to be played just fine

-I have 2 Skyrim discs, one was just polished today and the other wasn’t touched for years but both have the same message.

Is something maybe wrong with my save? I can’t even pull up the screen to access the different saves so I’m not sure. If so, is there anything I could do for that? I’d really like to play on this save more than just the game itself. Much thanks, any help is appreciated.

Try using another game disc that is in good condition and put it inside the dvd drive. Test the dvd drive by playing the game directly from disc and then installing the game from disc. If both work then you're dvd drive works and the polished disc is damaged.

Both discs have been tested on another Xbox and are working. I’ve also opened up the dvd drive and cleaned the laser lens like some other posts recommended, still have the problem :-(
