its been a long time since i downloaded anything for the 360, my last game was wave 4 and i always patched to wave 3 as i have a old firmware, as i never bother to connect to live being banned isnt a problem for me

a few days ago i decided to connect quickly and get the latest update and it all went ok but today i tried to burn a pal copy of need for speed hot persuit, i used the latest waves patcher to patch it to wave 3 and it keeps giving me a unreadable disk error Rolling Eyes
it shows in the dash as it should but it happens when i launch the game
i was able to install it too but im still getting the error

i burned it again with the "keep system update" checked but this time it just thought the game was a dvd

any ideas what could be causing this? Confused i hoped to get marvel vs capcom 3 a few days early but it looks like i wont be able to if i cant find out whats causing this

Yep, it's basically the AP2.5 checks.

I've no idea if patching works but you're better off just updating your firmware and reflashing.

ahh ok, thanks for the help
i have never actually flashed a drive before, is it just a case of removing it and connecting it to the pc? or do i need extra hardware?

Generally not but it depends on which chipset your PC has as you have to connect via SATA

A good source is here as it covers all of the drives etc.

It all gets a little easier at the end of the month as Team Xecuter are releasing this which allows any sata drive to be connected to USB.
