Xbox 360 help

[southwell]

Just posting this for a mate, hopefully someone will be able to point him in the right direction:

Not sure if anyone can help me but im having problems with my 360
Especially when trying to load a game..
When I put the disk in it start to spin up and then I get a white screen with the words” you need to insert disk into Xbox” (I think) and several other languages below it.
When I go into the dashboard screen it seems to think the game is a DVD.

After several attempts at starting it will work eventually but im getting tired of having to do it a bout 10 times before the game loads up.

I could be wrong, but that sounds like "backups" not agreeing with the DVD drive. I'd hazard a guess that you're running the iXtreme firmware on the DVD drive which will cause that same behaviour for backups that don't meet the stealth requirements - although it should do it pretty much all the time rather than 9 times out of 10.

this happened to me after my mate knocked the xbox and scratched the game badly and could not play it anymore....makesure its clean.

[Help!!!]

maybe a faulty disk, Check to see if its scratched, what game is it?

[southwell]

It's juiced 2, and it's not a backup, it's original.

[Help!!!]

Check for scratches, it may be a dirty disk.

It may be the 360 itself.

The drive could be going, making the 360 think a perfectly good disc is dirty/scratched.


Call MS.
