Unhappy problem with gta san andreas back up

i've recently backed up my san andreas, the game works fine but every so often i get a black screen saying 'problem reading san andreas disc' and then it'll start playing again - i've tried backing this up a couple of times on different discs and different software but each one does the same - any ideas? this can be really frustrating i can be in the middle of doing something then this screen will come up and next i know i've been busted!!!!please help.

Im playin mine off the hdd, and it can hang. Ive driven so fast everything looks like a blur. Im lovin this.

BTW every GTA for the ps2 has done this to pretty much every ps2 console Ive known. Its because GTA games generally read the disk on the fly. So your best bet is off of a hdd nowadays.

Hey, I'm just curious why you couldn't get it to work. Was it an allignment issue? Was the jumper set correctly? Despite the rumors that you need a 40GB or higher, I got my old 30GB Western Digital to work, with a little modification to the Network Adapter.
