Don't install it buddy.. that wont work 99% of the time, you need to use the burnt disc to play the game..
- You're more than welcome to waste discs burning the game over and over until it works, but that's a waste of discs and they are pricey.


Steps < USB REQUIRED >
- Insert GTA 4 ( Normal Disc )
- Go to install
- Once you hear the disc speed up & it pops up with your Storage Devices, Select your HDD
- Swap your disc and if it slows down you've messed up if it still goes fast you've done it correctly.
- hit the guide button, launch the game

Enjoy

Now that I think about it, that makes more since
so you're correct.

Follow all steps, once the pop up happens, swap disc really fast & press install once it speeds up and you hear it go fast launch game through hud

Yes, once you it pops up with your Storage Devices, swap your GTA Disc for your ISO disc, then press install & if it goes fast you've done it correctly then quickly launch the game using the ISO disc.

- It's the only way you'll run the game from the ISO it's almost impossible to get the games to install sometimes, I've burnt discs over and over to try and make them install, some xboxs it wont work for.

Okay let me correct myself with steps:


Step 1) Put in GTA 4
Step 2) Go to install it, it should pop up with a storage device.
Step 3) Swap your Disc out and press Install
Step 4) It should start to speed up whilst it attemps to read the disc, don't give it time just launch the game.

Step 5) if step 3 does not work: Press install, swap your disc and launch the game


Here's a video guide:


Do the steps he does, although once it starts installing instead of intsalling it just launch the disc

fammmm

You dont let it install, you do all the steps & once you select HDD and swap your disc, you hit the guide button and launch it, your console will not let you install those discs. it works for some xboxs but not all, yours is a console that it'll not install on for certain games.

You need to do all the steps once it starts to install, Hit the Guide Button & Launch GTA V using the ISO disc
