Kown Mass Effect Glitch or is this actua ...

So I borrowed this from a buddy of mine - he has had no problems with the game at all.I tried to install it, and every time it quits at 41% - says the disc is dirty. I checked the disc, it is not in mint condition, but it doesn't look bad enough to warrant an inability to read it.Despite this, the game seems to work fine when I play it. I just got past Saren's first trial and immediately after the conversation with the ambassador and the Captain, the game freezes and says the disc is dirty.Has this happened to anyone? Or is the disc actually messed up? I find it odd that I definitely did not damage it in any way, but my friend had no issues whatsover and I am having problems.Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.P.S. -Thus far I am thoroughly enjoying it. I will probably end up buying it, but I'd rather not have to buy two copies haha.Kown Mass Effect Glitch or is this actua ...
It could be your disc drive or the disc is scratched in just the right place. Try cleaning it and then try installing it again. It may look clean, but it might help to clean it anyway. Smae thing happened to me when I was installing a rented copy of Prince of Persia yesterday.Kown Mass Effect Glitch or is this actua ...
Interesting. How did you end up resolving the issue / cleaning it?
I just sprayed the disc with windex and wiped it clean with a dry wash cloth. Using tooth paste is more effective though if you want to be thorough.
Okay, so this is just weird.I wipe it with a microfiber cloth, and it makes it to 50% on an install attempt before the message.I wipe again, and try to install again. This time it makes it to 59%.I wipe again, try to install, and it only makes it to 41% - where it first started at.
Anyone have any further ideas?

I haven't heard of this before.The only thing I can think of is if it is not the disc then it must be your hardware.Give 18004myxbox a call, if you are a patient person. They may actually be able or willing to help... but it's doubtful.
Goodness I hope its not the hardware :?I decided to give it one more go this afternoon. It hit 41... then 50... then 59... then 60, and kept going to 100!Somehow it decided to cooperate.Still - rather worrisome/intriguing.
