question...I have a Hitachi drive that makes a sound when it first loads up a backup disc. Its only when i first put the game in and it is initially reading it. The sound sounds like the laser is struggling or there is a scratch, but it still reads. Once it takes off, everything is fine, but it does it 100% of the time when initially reading the disc. Anyone know what the problem might be? I have a feeling it might be wearing on my laser?
any help is appreciated.

So the problem is with your DVDs, try using a Verbatim DVD DL they are not cheap but they are best. I had a DVD once that make a lot of noise playing.
Try it and then reply _________________ Team X-Force E.H.G. rullez

Also just so people in the USA know go to Microcenter.com and check their store locations to see if there is one by you and if so they sell a dual layer media made by Windata you can get a 10 pack for $8.99US and a 20 pack for $14.99US these are what I use and have never had a problem. I believe there are a couple stores in Texas. _________________
