You've done nothing wrong Geoff. It's saying "no disc" because the laser cannot read it and that's because the mechanics haven't placed the disc in the correct position. I had the same problem a few years ago. Lubrication didn't solve it. In the end I had to transplant the disc drive from another unit.

I've had similar problems with the drives in a hi-fi CD player and DVD home video recorder. I've concluded that they're not built to last which, as things have turned out, appears to have been the right commercial decision at the time.
