Bad Sectors

[Captain Planet]

Just burned that disk ttkk, but yh whilst IMGBURN was verifying the disk it picked up some bad sectors, same way when trying to install it to my 360 HD at around the same percentage mark the disk could not be read.My question is wether it was the ISO that flopped it (which I highly doubt), the disk was somehow shoddly made (it's a verbatim though) or my DVD drive is having an issue flashing data onto the disk it is a laptop. Or has R* got some copy protection thing going on?EDIT: The game works and I've been playing it fur an hour or so, but with it being a GTA game I fear at a certain point in the story it will die and will end life as a frisbee.

@ what speed did you burn the DVD?

[Mr. Martinez]

My guess would be the ISO

[Captain Planet]

I think it was 2X Swift, can't really remember because I have the settings to autodetect.

[Guest Anarchy99]

Well that was going to be my recomendation. Burning at a slower speed like 2x maximum 4x if the Max Speed of the media is 16x

[Captain Planet]

I might aswell try that I guess.Safe.Also can somebody confirm that ISO cannot have bad sectors my internet reading has lead me to believe this.

[Captain Planet]

Ahh I see my speed was set to 8x.LOL

Use SLYSOFT CDCLONEman had that f*ckary with imgburn and burnt the same ISO with cdclone and it worked nicely

[Captain Planet]

Arr just burnt another same izzuesso it is the isoAnd I doubt there is software that can fix sectors it's just not possible, so i guess i'll use another disk trying what Sleepz is saying .EDIT: I SEEEEEEEESLEEPZ YOU BADMAN, THIS SOFTWARE HAS TOOLS TO DEAL WITH COPY PROTECTION SECTORS

[O.Man]

u should try not using the pc when burning, let your pc dedicate all its resources to burning, i swear u can f*ck up the buffer and have a bad burn

[Captain Planet]

True I do leave the PC when burning but I think I know what it is# New: Copies SafeDisc 3 protected CDs/DVDs# New: Emulates SafeDisc 3 weak sectorsIt's basically this, R* use a copy protection system that affects sectors in a way.

[Necksta]

What game gave you problems?

[Captain Planet]

GTA 4& yeah CDCLONE sorted it nicely
