How do i clean disks?
My xbox fell over when i was playing a game, and it left a perfect circle on the disk. Now the XBOX says the disk is unreadable. i tried cleaning it.

How do i take the scratch ring off?

I used to put tooth paste on disks and it would get rid of scuff marks. But don't use the kind with grit in it (obviously).

The circle is from the xbox reading lazer. Not a scratch.

Had that happen to me, best bet is to borrow the game from somebody and install it to your hard drive. Now you can run the game with the fucked up disc.

Nope you can't clean that.
I think you can clean it at a game store but i'm not sure they can take off scratches like that.
Try the game store or do what Tatsuo said and install it to your hard drive.

When you get a good disc go to your game library and click the game and it says install to hard drive maybe not exactly that but something like that and just do it but it takes like 7.00mb or something like that.

Did you know that if a cd has even a tiny little crack, playing it isn't a good idea? I broke my cd reader like that. Jesus, it sounded like a gunshot :/


ontopic: toothpaste is best. Also good for getting scratches off cars
