xbox disk instalation

Install to HD disk always. XBox will then only spin up the disk to confirm that you own the disk. Not only do you lower the risk of scratched disks but you can continue to use scratched ones. For example, I have an old Mass Effect 1 & a Perfect Dark Zero
disk that were scratched; I borrowed a friend's copies to install but can still use my own to play the Hard Disk content.



In the case of GTA V, you need to install the "Install" disk to the Hard Drive and they recommend not to install the "Play" disk to the same drive. However, you could install an unscratched "Play" disk to a USB drive instead. Hopefully, you can then continue
to play GTA V (with the scratched disk for license purposes)

have you already successfully installed disk 2 before or have you not installed it at all? are you connected to xbox live when you are trying to install disk 2?

I have an Xbox 360-s with 320gb HDD.

AC Black Flag ... Disk 2 works great, can play tutoial no prob. Disk 1 ( install disk) unrecognizable.

Black ops ghosts ... Disk 1 works great. Can play local and online. Disk 2 ( install disk ) unrecognizable.

GTAV 2 sets of disks, install never made it to disk 2.

Diablo also un-recognizable.

All disks are pristine.

Battlefield 4 loaded no problem along with a few other titles. Have a hard time believing it is a bad opticle drive. reads lots of disks no problems. Just not install disks on a lot of newer titles.

delete everything bf3 including xbox cache , install both disks , insert disk one (or whichever disk does NOT contain the HD content) and start the game , when prompted to install hd pack select yes you will be prompted to switch disks , DO NOT exit the
game just switch disks and wait till it starts too install itself dont press anything

For best performance Rockstar recommends not installing the play disk. Sounds like the best way is to install disk 1 "Install Disk" on to your HDD and run with disk 2 "Play Disk" installed onto a USB.

I would go with giving the cache a clear still though and then a quick connection test with Xbox Live
