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

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!
