Xbox dirty disk error
My PGR2 disk keeps failing and reporting a dirty/damaged disk error 
However, it's absolutely mint on the data side of the disk. Is this a sign that my xbox's DVD drive is getting xbolloxed?
What's the best way to rip a disk onto the hard disk? Can I do it from the xbox, or am I better doing on the PC and FTP'ing it over?
Cheers,
John.

If the disc is an original, rip it using the Xbox drive straight to HDD. If its a backup, rip it to your PC HDD and copy it over. If you're using Avalaunch, use Qwix and you'll get blazing fast speeds 
Don't know what dash you're using . . . EvolutionX - use boXplorer, Avalaunch - use the built-in File Manager to copy the files.

Doh! Thanks... figured out how to do it with avalaunch's file manager now. I knew I was missing something obvious before, but just couldn't quite get it.
Rats.. just noticed that there's more PGR2 than there is disk to hold it.
Next job is a BIG disk for it.

I get this all the time..
Not that I would ever suggest this kind of acitivity, but I heard that some folk hire games from Blockbuster and swap the disk - arf.
I think backing up on your PC sounds like a better alternative thought
