I had my laser replaced. Stock one was grinding and causing large circular scratches on disks, deeming them un-usable.
Now, a lot of my games get the error:
"The disk is dirty"
or
"The disk cannot be recognized"
I noticed this onseveral EA backups.
NHL 08 - rarely
Tiger Woods 08 - Rarely
Madden 08 - ALWAYS - It had worked fine before, though.
COD 4, MOH:AA - Both get errors before the menu screen.
All my disks (Verbatim) have gotten lots of miniscule scratches. None of these scratches seem capable of causing these errors.
What do you believe the problem is?
*I can find out what firmware/laser type are in there, but I'll need a day or two.
Also, will Ritek/Ridata DL disks work for burning games? Found them a lot cheaper than most other DL media.
And what is a good (Not too expensive, hopefully not much more than $50) disk cleaner? Maybe Game Dr? Which type.model?
Also, when you buy "cheap" media, that's exactly what you're getting. Google "Ritek/Ridata dl quality" and you'll see alot of posts complaining about it.
