Install Game to Hard Drive..

I've seen an option like this for when you look at the info of the game inside the xbox, what exactly does it mean. Is it like to take an entire game and put it on your HD so you never have to use to disk?

Pretty much if you have a game that freezes a lot or messes up a lot, install it to the disk drive. For me it was Fallout 3 load-times would take long the game would freeze at moments and sometimes the disk would be unreadable.

So pretty much installing it to disk drive will prevent your game from messing up and it gives you a nice smooth gameplay. It takes a while to install thought, s'all im saying

you need the disc to boot the game and it needs to stay in th drive. its kinda pointless the load times are almost the same on most games Last Remnant is the only one ive really noticed a HUGE difference in glitch reductionnynthninja

It's a wonderful feature to be able to install games. Your system makes dramatically less noise and there will be less tear on your disc drive.

Also my friend bought Gears 2 used from someone and it always locked up on him at a certain spot so he installed my copy, but always boots his up and problem solved.

But yea, you install the game through the dashboard and the game will load off your HDD, but you have to have to the disc in the tray.

It works really well with bad dvd disc that has dirty disc error very often. And games with long loading time will benifit. Probably like Oblivion on horse will be less painful, I haven't tried that.magicalclick

Some games it makes no different, and supposedly it makes Halo 3 go slower. A lot of games, though, it does help. People who say they didn't notice anything aren't paying attention. If you time your games pre and post-install, it makes an obvious difference. Any game you play frequently you should install (provided you have the space), as five seconds here and ten seconds there saved eventually add up.
