which media did you use? also, how did you burn the game (iso or data write)?

i use datawrite media, but have tried others, so it aint a media problem

i burn as an iso, with either alcohol 120% or recordnow max

The data burn might be the problem. I've had that happen to me for some games as well. If you turn off the xbox then power on, and it doesn't load, try opening the disk tray a couple times. Then, try loading it in another menu, like media x menu or evolution x. I don't really know why this problem occurs. I have Baldurs Gate, and have to do the same thing.

There might be one more thing you can do to fix the problem. I was browsing my settings, and looked at the default. Which, i dunno how to make it save, everytime i load record now up with a data disk, i have to change the settings.

Anyways, go to:
[File] -> [new job] -> [data disk]

After the data disk thing opens, go to:
[edit] -> [recording options]

Look near the middle, in the DVD section. On mine, the "Recording type" was set to "Track-At-Once (TAO), not closed". If it is the same for you, make sure you change it to the "closed" selection before you burn a disk. This might fix your problem. I didn't try it on any error disks, but it gave me faster load times on the other disks i tried.
