I have a backup of GTA 4 which I love playing. The problem is at certain times the xbox will give an error saying the disc is unreadable and all I can do is select OK and it goes back to the dashboard.
Now this is partly my own fault because I wrote this backup on a disc which name I had never heard of before. I just wanted to know if anyone else had this kind of problem with other brands of discs.
So far I've used mostly Verbatim and a few HP discs which have given me no problem, but this one damn no-name disc is giving me a real damn headache

I've always wondered, how exactly do you print on a disc?

That's what I was thinking but it gives me a read error even when I try that. Strange thing is, theres not even dust on the disc. _________________ 96 Astra F C16SE

Strange thing is, theres not even dust on the disc. ok my probleme is solve. when i buy games copyd games! i go write it over but on the slowest speed! coz i think this fookers where i buy games writes k*k and uses the fastest speed just to get the CD done! i use verbatim cds and i dont have a prob anymore! i know its a waste to write the game again but atleast i dont have reading problems anymore. try it!

I tried that once Stifler but I left it to write and someone messed with the PC and the disc didnt finish. I didnt have anymore blanks to test with.  _________________ 96 Astra F C16SE

I've used normal Everlotus blanks before and I have never had problems with these discs however I see theres a shop here selling D/L E-Lotus discs for a good price and I was wondering if I should go for it. They dont have single discs only 10 packs.
Has anyone here used a D/L E-Lotus disc before and what are your opinions about it?

I copied the GTA 4 on a Verbatim disc and now it works perfectly. I installed it to the 360's hard drive soema  _________________ 96 Astra F C16SE
