No, the circular scratches are from you cleaning it on your shirt on a circular motion when the xbox says your disk is dirty. The problem may not be your disk but maybe the dvd drive in your xbox. You can get replacement drives online or just take it to an authorized repair place have have it replaced.
If your other games play fine then it might be the disk but I think it's probably the drive.

If your other games play fine then it might be the disk but I think it's probably the drive. all of my other games work fine....the only other game i got a dirty disk error was half life 2.....but it only happened one tiem and it has worked everytiem since then....the only problem is my halo disk i wouldn't be surprised if its my drive though..i use it so much and so does my sister.......i use it to play games .and watch dvds..........she uses it to watch 3 min of a movie then fall asleep and leave the box running all night...bitch but if it is the drive i would rather get a second xbox so i could have one in my room even if it doesn't work 100% and this didn't make sence o, the circular scratches are from you cleaning it on your short on a circular motion when the xbox says your disk is dirty. |

OK...the circular scratches are from cleaning the disk in a circular motion, either on your shirt or with a towel. I was thinking faster than I can type.

There's disk repair kits out there that you might want to try first before you buy another disk. One is called disk doctor. There's a bunch of others that are disk polishing compounds that are suposed to fill in the deep groves.

Some people I know have used them and said they do work. Eventually you would need to by more of the polishing compound/liquid.

They work, hte only thing is they leave lines on it, and they get annoying and can make you not see scratches, first try the vasoline trick though, it usually works after 4 tries.

I used vaseline, and then wiped it off with rubbing alcohal, it cleans the disc very well.

When i clean my disk i just use a soft tissue. Eventually, i will have to use something else because it is getting worst and worst.
