Halo 5 won't reinstall by disc. ('installation stopped' on 0%) (enough space on HD ...

Is it still mandatory to install the disc to your HD? Because if not, then pretty much, the biggest pro with discs is that it won't fill up your HD space quickly like it would with digital.

Yeah installation is still mandatory.

Should you install the disc to hard drive first? I installed the hd pack (went through without restarting) then later in the day I installed the disc to hard drive. will this affect the hd pack?

[/quote]When I tried to install in HD texture pack, it stopped and I had to restart it. Upon first glance the HD textures seemed to load. I used the testing method of looking at the Assault soldiers watch band which goes from dull to detailed with holes
and such. However, the detail seemed a little lacking. So I decided to investigate.

So, I deleted the HD texture pack and tried to reinstall it. Five times in a row, it stopped at about 15%. I had both discs installed to my HDD at the time. I deleted the first disc from the HDD so the HD texture pack would install from the disc. Viola,
on the first try the HD texture pack installed without stopping.

Did it help? YES!!! The detail doubled on the watch band. The HD texture pack partially works if it stops during the install.

Long story short. 1) If your HD texture pack stopped mid install, delete it from your HDD. 2) Uninstall disc 1 from your HDD. 3) Put disc 1 in and install the HD texture pack. 4) Install disc 1 to your HDD.

Sounds like you don't have enough hard drive space. The HD content is the only thing you need to install. If you installed the game disc from the dashboard you will run out of space. The HD texture packs take up 3GB and each disc of the game installed takes
up about 6.5 to 7GB. Said and done it's around 16.5 GB total. Uninstall the game discs and make sure the HD texture packs are not already installed. (Not likely because it takes about half an hour.) Restart your xbox then try booting the game up again from
disc one. Let me know if this helps.

Hi, if you're trying to install a game from a disc and you're receiving this error, try the following guide: https://support.xbox.com/games/troubleshooting/game-installation-process-stops
(My understanding is that even though this guide says it's for games that fail to install "at or near 0%," it is applicable to any disc installation error stopping short of 100% at the same place every attempt.)

Additionally, double-check to make sure you have enough storage space for the game you're trying to install.

If no solution in that guide works, or you're getting this error message from a digital download and you've confirmed you have enough space, I might try contacting Official Xbox Support at the following link: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us

Hope that helps!
