disc may be dirty or damaged

ok i put forza motorsports on my hdd and i cannot even play it the game starts up and gets to where it is loading right before a race and i get the disc may be damaged or dirty error i didn;t think anything of it so i never worried about it but i just put gta san andreas on my hdd and am getting the same error

 

I had the same problem with forza.What burner are you using?

I use dvd decrypter myself and i had to set it to 8x write speed for it to work so maybe thats the problem.

Try a higher write speed and see if this works hope this helps ya

 

i burned it with nero and it seems like it's working fine right until it loads the actual right before you would be playing but GTA san andreas gives me the error right when it loads on the opening screen

 

Ok try burning at a higher speed try 8x and let me know if you have any luck but if you dont i'll try and help you out

 

ok i will try them at 8x the previous ones i burnt at 4x

 

Ok let me know how you get on

 

actually now that i think about it i ripped forza straight from the oringinal disc to the hdd and i get the error

 

ok i burned gta SA at 8x and it still gives me the disc may be dirty or damaged... i didn't realize i had forza on the hdd twice so i deleted them both them re copied it to the hdd and it works fine

 

pudgdawg sorry for the late reply i was off line for a couple of days.

I might be able to solve your GTA san andreas problem but first i need to know is it the pal version??

I have a patch for the pal version courtesy of another member of this site if it is a pal version

Pudgdawg look this user up and ask him for the patch the user is punqewe

He should be able to sort you out let me know how you get on

I get exactly the same problem, Backed up a PAL verison of GTA SA on my xbox and when run in PAL setting, it doesnt load at all... When in NTSC it loads, but comes up with the dirty CD error before loading the proper game.
Ive heard about a patch, if anyone can send this to me, or provide a link i can download from that would be great!

 

Hi all i seem to be having the same problem. an error message "disk dirty or damaged" shows up. Could this be a media problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thnx
