I was in the middle of a game of MW3 and my controller went flat. When trying to plug it in I knocked the 360 and the disc started to make a kind of grinding? noise and stopped. Fair enough.

When I restarted it I managed to get to the find a match page and then I get an error that the disc is unreadable. I've tried the usual of restarting the console and cleaning the disk but no luck. Other games work fine.

Have I buggered the disc or is there a fix?

I hardly touched the dam thing, talk about fragile.
 
Kinda new to xbox, only bought one a few months ago for MW3 and Forza.

Dont the games have to be installed to play? I wa inhe middle of a game.

I'll try to reinstall

You dont have to install the game to play on xbox. Its something you do so the disk isnt constantly spinning. If the disk has a ring mark on it then you can get it polished at a game shop for a few quid and it should work fine again.

It ain't got a ring mark, though it does have a slight scratch running acroos it. If my cds/dvds were fragile like this I wouldn't be able to view any of them. This is .......

try to install it, if not then you can probably check the manual see if they offer a replacement disc for £10 or so, best not to move the console when a game is spinning inside though, but you are not the first to do it :)

I've tried to reinstall, but it gets to 43% and stops. Can't beleve some was designed like this to be so fragile.

They best give me a replacement disk for cheap, I ain't paying £40 for another copy.
 
guess i could. Just spoken to Activision though and they will replace the disk if i can provide proof of purchase. I can't find the receipt atm though :(
