So I bought Black Ops on the midnight release date. It was all working fine then it started freezing up while loading certain maps. I took out the disc and there is a perfect circle around the outer edge of the disc(which is clearly scratches). Now I tried installing the game onto my harddrive but it always comes up with a can not read disc error. Has anyone else had this problem? I've never had any problems with this xbox scratching discs before, only with this game.
Also something that may help. My friend has a copy of Black Ops also. I could install that copy onto my harddrive, but I think it wouldn't let both of us play at the same time using that copy? Is there any way I can use the disc ID off of my scratched disc, but play it off of my harddrive from my friend's disc?

When installing games to a 360's hard drive it doesn't copy down the game's ID or anything. I've had a scratched copy of crackdown that I got working by installing a friend's copy of crackdown. We were then both able to play multiplayer together. If you can't get your disc replaced then just use your friends copy of Black Ops to install the game and then try to use your disc to run it.
