If you install the hard drive when you game has loaded, it will reset your XBOX back to the dash.

You probably have a faulty HDD, try a mem card to see if you get the same issue.

Could be a corrupt game save, COD5 was giving dirty disk errors with my game save.

That's what I was thinking. I would format the drive. Or since you tried a different hdd, I'd point the finger else where like the game discs or dvd drive. Try the games in a different xbox with the same hdd/saves.

Edit: actually now that I think about it, a friend on mine had a similar problem, and he just started a new game save - problems solved! Likely due to a bad game save IMO.

With the hdd installed the game has to load different parts of the disc at times and it could be a bad backup (bad data at that part) if you hear your drive slowing down it means the disc is unreadable.




Consoles:

XBOX360 Falcon console with Lite-On 74850C

PS3 80gb phat model with 120gb hdd

PS3 60gb model

PS3 modded on 3.55

let me add this also.....i cant even load the game with the hard drive installed...it will onlyload with the hard drive uninstalled....so there is no way to even start a new game with the hard drive installed.
