First off where did you get the disk from?

I got the disk from play.com, so it's the UK edition if that makes a difference.
I'm not sure what you mean about Securerom has been removed, all the forums I've visited says SH4 uses the Secure Rom 7.3 something something version. Could it be that there is some sort of incompabality between my disk drive and the newest Secure Rom?

What good is isobuster going to do you when the data was never copied in the first place?

Maybe I wasnt clear enough - I tried manually copying some data files off the disc to the hard drive, to see if I could. Just as a way of testing wheter data could be copied off it without flaw. I then got CRC errors while copying.
Iso Buster is a program for getting data off damaged discs, and was suggested on antother forum as a way of testing wheter it was the disc or something else that was the problem. It didnt work tough.

Im not suggesting anything but it all sounds a little fishy.
Myself and thousands of others have had no problems with installations.
Its entirely possible that you have a corrupted disk. Id try to get an exchange. Although youve diddled around doing so much weird **** who knows now. |
I saw that thread, the problem is I can't get it to install at all, trying to run the setup just results in all sorts of errors, and whenever I try to browse the disc the whole system is sluggish...
I'll probably have to send it back and hope I get a replacement, but it's usually a two week process and I want to play it now
Oh, and all the diddling I did was simple read attempts from the disc - I've yet to try the magical marker pen trick or similar things
