Burned game not working properly

[JeffreyWiilton]

I'm trying to run a backup copy of Thief: Deadly Shadows, and every time the game gets to the loading screen, the DVD drive makes this blasted scratching, clicking noise, and the game automatically resets to the EvoX dashboard. I've tried everything I could find online related to running a copy of this particular game (patching the *.xbe files with Qwix/SimpleXISO; changing the settings in the softmod menu & the dashboard menu more times than I can count, burning the disc at the slowest speed possible), and so far, nothing works.

Is the situation hopeless, or is someone deliberately withholding information from the rest of the online hacking/modding community that would easily fix the problem?

patching the .xbe wouldnt fix it, because it at least boots
the problem is that your disc is scratched. try to clean it as best as possible, load evox (or w/e ftp with) put the disc in, MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT LOAD but make sure the dash reads it correctly, then ftp to your xbox and copy the contents to your computer. than just reburn a new copy, or try different media (brand of dvd)

¬_¬ You're a little too late to be answering THIS question. The problem was solved several MONTHS ago. >_<
