that all sounds very good but surely it is only the starter.

for the full 3 course meal it would have to be

Starter. boiled xbox disc with a ceaser dressing

Main Course. oven baked controller S with pan fried memory controller

Sweet. caremellised headset drizzled with hot chocolate sauce.

:lol:

Dehlias right :D

And I must give my tip once again, do not, I repeat do not throw the juices away, it makes an ideal tasty broth for those cold winter nights, plus there's medicinal properties. I have heard of gamers gettin' PB's they thought they'd never achieve. :closedeyes:

Take a look at Dan's times if proof is what you seek

Disc boling does work! I rescued my GP2 disc a while back that way. It's not a myth, if you have a disc that won't load, give it a try - what have you got to lose??

Try these steps:


1. Confirm that the game disc is clean. Sometimes dirt or dust on the surface of the disc can interfere with normal disc function. To clean the disc:


* Hold the disc by the edges without touching the surface with your fingers.
* Clean the disc with a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.
* Do not use solvents or chemicals to clean the disc.
* Try to play the game again.

2. Turn off the Xbox console and turn it on again to see if your disk will start up normally.

3. If this does not resolve the issue, turn off the Xbox console and turn it on again to see if your disk will start up normally.

4. Copy and delete any saved games from your hard disk.
Note If a saved game file is corrupt, it can produce a disk error message in all games, particularly when the game starts.

5. Try three other games, and then try the original game again.

6. Try the game on another console if possible.
