    Games downloaded to the Xbox 360 hard drive through the game disc.


    I've downloaded games to my hard drive on the Xbox 360 through the game disc, yet after I play a match; the game will close and say disc is unreadable, also I can't see aiming down the sight with a sniper.







    Why does this only happen only after a match is over ?



    Why do tiny scratches affect a game if it is already downloaded ?



    What's the point of downloading the game from the disc onto the hard drive, then not allowing me to play because of the disc ?





    ?







    Disc type you're having issues with: NTSC COD Black ops II.

    Steps you've tried: Cleaning disc, clearing cache.

  2. Update rendering my 360 s 250GB unable to read disks

    Ok I have re-read your post from what I see it does not read game and you can not install games in your hardrive but you system does read your CD and Dvd's.

    The link to trouble shoot for the Disc Drive Solution have you tried this at all it can be found here

    http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/disc-drive/disc-drive-solution


    • Installing a game to your hard drive requires between 4 and 8 gigabytes (GB) of free disc space.
    • After installing a game on your hard drive, you still need to have the game disc in the disc drive when you start the game.
    • Installing games on your hard drive improves load times and minimizes game disc access.
    • Original Xbox games can't be installed on an Xbox 360 Hard Drive.

    Game downloaded to hard drive but still won't work, I have the disc.

    My Black Ops 2 is downloaded to my hard drive, and I have the disc in the tray, but it won't work. It'll just say Unrecognized disc. It does have a straight crack going from the center past the shiny Xbox 360 circle around the hole in the center. Is that
    why it won't work? I also have my MW3 downloaded to my hard drive and the disc is not cracked. My other games that are downloaded to the hard drive by disk work. But I'm ASSUMING it's because of the damage.

  4. Games downloaded to the Xbox 360 hard drive through the game disc.

    Even though you install the game from the disc on your hard drive the xbox still needs to confirm that you own that game.

    When a disc gets scratched it matters how many scratches are on the disc and how deep those scratches are. The laser still needs to read the disc and if it can't read the data through the scratches then it will cause an error.

    The point of installing from a disc is so that the game will load a bit faster. This also prevents less wear and tear on the drive because it's not constantly spinning. The drive will read the disc when you first put the game in to make sure you own it and
    it will read all of the data so it's not constantly spinning. After it reads the disc it will stop and won't have to keep constantly reading the game.

    If the game is not working for you try deleting it then re-installing it again. Hopefully it will work for you.

    Is there a certain amount of time I should let the game disc spin before playing ?

    Downloading My games onto a hard drive.

    Hello Deathrider3579,

    Did you download COD Black Ops through the XBOX marketplace or did you use the disc to install the game in your hard drive?

    If it is the first case delete any data relating to Black Ops and try re-downloading the game again.

    If you installed the game through the use of your Black Ops disc , you are still required to use the disc in order to play the game. Playing the game through your hard drive (with disc) will reduce your Xbox from overheating.

    One way in which BC Xbox 360 games are not backwards compatible

    Basically the Xbox 360 would read games from the disc and you wouldn't need to install the games to the 360 hard drive if you had the disc.

    On Xbox One, you need to install all games to the hard drive (or an external hard drive) regardless of if you have the disc or not, or if it's a backwards compatible game.
