I had Black Ops 1 and The disk was scratched so I borrowed my friends to save it to my flash drive. I did this so that I could play it and it worked on my 360. Later, I stopped playing it because I needed more space on my flash drive. I copied the game over to my computer using Horizon and I deleted it from the flash drive. A month later, I decided to move it over back to my flash drive from my computer using Horizon. It showed that it was on there so when I went to my games library on my 360, it showed my scratched disk Black Ops and Black Ops from the flash drive. I was able to launch the one from the scratched disk but after a while it said the disk was scratched (obviously). When I launched the game from the flash drive it told me that I needed to insert the Black Ops game disk which was already inserted. So is my only option to reinstall the game to my flash drive? And what's the point of Horizon having the option to extract the games from a flash drive but when you put them back onto the flash drive, they end up not working? There must be some issue with the installed game having a different ID from the scratched game itself after I moved it to and from my PC... Can anyone help me solve this issue? I know it's not just with Black Ops because I've tried it with Skyrim as well and it had the same issue. Thanks

Your post is a mess. It had to be said, I can't determine what the heck you're trying to say.
If it says the disk is scratched then it's scratched. Either the disc is 100% unreadable ,(which means you need a new disc, installing it won't help) you can't copy it over that way for whatever reason or you copied it over wrong.

Do you not understand English? I stated my whole situation and you reply with a response that doesn't address my issue. You must not have ANY knowledge on Xbox 360's since you think that a game cannot be played if its scratched but yet it can if the game is installed onto a memory unit that's plugged into the Xbox. You can install a game onto a memory unit and use the scratched disc to still play the game if the Xbox can detect which game it is. If you are going to try and help me with such an ignorant response then there isn't any reason to reply in the first place. Learn more about how Xbox's work, then come back on my thread and help.
