Subject: Disk works on Xbox but not Xbox 360

does anybody know any way to fix this

If it boots on the old box but does not boot on the 360, look at Dr WE1RD's pinned topic about backwards compatibility.

Why, he's asking about H2 and we already know it works? I bought the cheap model when it first came out (I forget what it was called) but it was renamed Arcade later and H2 plays just fine. What I don't understand is why, once in a while, an H2 disk will not play for a very few people. I guessed that the backwards compatibility has something to do with it but I don't really know but I know for a fact that H2 plays on my Arcade 360.

Hey, OMFG, Halo 2 has been backwards compatible for years.

the thing is that it says it had a problem reading the game disk. the main menu loads up but it can't actually play campaign or multiplayer

Your disc is probably dirty or scratched if it can't load the campaign or multiplayer maps.

I think what he meant is you need a hard drive to play original Xbox games. The pro and elite come with a hard drive and the arcade does not. You had to add a hard drive to the arcade version.

Oh, I see, I had an original 360 that came with a HDD and I thought that was what an Arcade came with. My bad.

yeah, i have a pro with a 20 GB hard drive with like 13 gigs free so

ROFL!

  • 03.26.2009 9:53 PM PDT

I have a similar problem, I have a Pro with a HDD, and Halo 2 works fine...until I get to the mission Regret, where it starts loading, then says "We're having some trouble reading the disk. Sorry about that."

I tried cleaning it at my local game store, but that didn't work either. All well and good, you might say. You have a bust disk. But wait...I tried it in an Xbox original, and lo behold, it worked. What?

  • 03.27.2009 12:25 AM PDT

that is exactly what happened to me. what does clearing your cache do?

Cache is like extra memory stored for faster loads or in the case of 360, updates. If you suspect bad data stored in your cache then clearing and redownloading is in order.

  • 03.27.2009 9:32 AM PDT

so if it didn't work before i even got xbox live then clearing my cache wouldn't do anything?

Probably not but it doesn't hurt if you try it. You just have to update again.

Have you tried another disk in your machine, one that you know plays on a 360? I can't remember if you said your disk works on another 360.

  • 03.27.2009 6:04 PM PDT

i haven't tried it on another 360 but i know that star wars bf2 works on my 360 and so does halo 1 (kindof)

  • 03.27.2009 6:10 PM PDT

Yeah, I was just asking about H2 (and forgot to say). Maybe try another H2 disk as an experiment or try your H2 on another machine. By trying both ways you will know whether it's the disk or box.
