The original Xbox consoles use a disc tray system to load games into the disc drive. This disc tray system can sometimes become stuck or jammed due to unknown reasons. Sometimes it can because of the Xbox console been stud up for too long or you have inserted a game disc incorrectly in the past. If the disc tray on your original Xbox is jammed, you can't remove the current game disc and swap it for a different game. To remove the stuck game disc from the disc tray, you can try to pop it out manually, before taking it apart.
1) Look at the 'Left' side near the circular shaped 'Eject' button found at the front of the console. You will see a small 'Hole' below the front side of the disc tray. You will require a paper clip to poke it into the small hole.
2) Obtain your 'Paperclip' and change the shape of it, so that it has a long pointy straightened bit sticking out. Be careful when handling it has sharp points!
3) Insert the straightened end of the paper clip into the small hole and push it in all the way. The disc tray will gradually pop out with poking in the paper clip. Once it is out slightly, pull the front side of the disc tray to help it get fully released.
