  • i have had forza 4 since it came out and have done nearly everything on the game if i install it now will i lose any of my save game. i want to install it because the time it takes to change from one car in my garage to a nother car in my garage is over 15seconds per change and i have over 400 cars so you can imagine it is very boring.

  • If you unnstall the game do you lose your save files?

  • Press the Y button after the disk is in the system at the main channel and click install game

  • I own the game and I've played it a lot but the disc is ruined and I'm trying to install it. Any help?

  • @XboxAnnihilator borrow a friends or rent it to install it, you should be able to use the ruined disc after that for the proof.

  • What does installing do if u cant play it without a disc?

  • @zouher2000

    no you cant. u need to put it in to prove u own the game otherwise ppl would install it and then pass it on

  • @zouher2000 u are fking stupid man do u know that?? , it runs game files from hard drive , and save laser dvd rom and your game,its in the console for chck up ,in other words when u instal game it spin disk for 5 sec,when you play game from the game disk it spinn it all the time...f king retard ...sry about my eanglish

  • I have a new Xbox 360 250GB and I am unable to install games. The y button is not an option. Y opens the tray, x launches the game. Do you know what I'm doing wrong, or is there a system update or add-on that I need?

  • alright guys. "installing" your game into your xbox is only so your xbox can run more silent OR so it can read the disk easier *if it has alot of scratches. i install my games in my xbox because my disks scratch quick!

  • If we have the circle scratched will this work if i were to just get a game from redbox? will it load if i installed it?

  • @MogeyMoge yea that would work fine.

  • you guys are all fuckwits seriously??

  • @sami3219 what the ****

  • What's the point.

    If you still have to insert the disk to play it then you haven't done anything.

  • @gubbyitss the xbox needs the disk to confirm and start the game...once you start playing the game will be loading from the hdd and not the dvd

    as a result you have a no scratched disk and a quieter xbox when playing :)

  • @gubbyitss it makes it quieter, loads quicker, and less change of breaking.

  • Here's an interesting quetion: Once you install the game, and the files are on the drive, if you move the xbox360 will it still fuck up the disc? Or will it just check if you have the game, then even if you accidentally push it or turn it over the disc won't be damaged?

  • @raicho20 Yea thats true, because once it checks the disc, the disc stops spinning so it wont mess it up.

  • its better to buy a modded xbox360 slim not modded the old way but now there is wasabi and the x360key from the same makers of the wiikey but i got the wasabi so you don't need Anny dvd,s put the game as a iso file on your external hd and play.my older phat also modded but because of the new dvd,s games don,t fit on a dual layer disc so i could again mod my phat but i went 4 a new slim already modded with wasabi its new and i cant find much about IT

  • what im wanting to no is can i download the game from the internet put on to my flash drive and use my scratched up cd. to play the game. if so how?

  • can it be done on a external hardrive

  • hoi gamers games instaleren is niks ik heb een xbox360 slim omgebouwd met wasabis360 dus ik gebruik helemaal geen cd,s meer alleen iso files en die haal je zo van het net af niet iedereen heeft het nog of een ombouw met de x360key is ook goed en is bijna hetzelfde dit werkt echt waanzinnig goed geen gezeur van krassen en dat je door een klein krasje een heel spel nietmeer kan spelen dus echt puur van 1 terrabite externe hd en daar kan veel een heel veel spellen op.

  • so does that mean i couldn't install it and keep playing it without the disc ? =/

  • Can u play online?

  • @SuperScroggs yea?

  • @stopmotion08 I hate it when stuff like that happens. If you use your brother's copy of MW3 and saved it to your hard drive, you might be able to use your disk to play it if your disk isn't scratched up too bad.

  • My MW3 disk got scratched somehow and now it says that it is unreadable. If I got a hard-drive and used my brother's mw3 to install the game, would I have to use my brother's disk all the time to start up the game?

  • @stopmotion08 if u install the game on hardrive with your brothers disc u can use ur disc to boot it then it and thats it.

  • @stopmotion08 no once you install your bro's u can use your scratched one.

  • @NicksTechGuides i always thought that when i install the games to the hard drive i wont need the cd to play the game. I was really disappointed :(

  • Cool video man. Thanks. Just have a question. Forza Motorsport 3 has an additional disc with contents that has to be INSTALLED. The installation is NOT the actual game but some extra content (cars, tracks, etc). I used to have an Arcade console with a 20GB HD. Now I switched to a slim 4GB console with an additional 16GB USB. Do you know if you can INSTALL extra content on USB drives ? Per the video, it seems you can install games, but no actual extra content. Please advise man.

  • @nhchris sorry man, I wouldn't know, I don't have any games like that.

    :@

    this think can even 2 year KID

    tell the trick in wich we dont need to insert DISC

  • @mutaharrr im not mad

  • @NicksTechGuides so it's not like when you download it from the marketplace where you need no disc ?

  • @jmacgamer8 it will launch off the disc if u didn't install it on your hard drive. To install it you have to press Y at the dashboard and select install game, then wait for to install then it will be done and the game will load faster.

  • Say I just start up my Xbox 360 and just press A at the "My Xbox" menu (i.e. I don't press Y and then "Play Game"). Will it still launch from the HDD, or will it launch from the disc?

  • @jmacgamer85 If its installed no matter how you start the game it will play off the HDD.
