Well if you happened to copy the disc content onto your hard drive (this would take up several GB of space) you could access the game WITHOUT the disc (I normally do this with XBL arcade games). Unfortunately, you will have to rent, borrow, or buy the game again. :(
Yes. Download cod 4 No CD/DVD crack from the internet. Copy the crack and replace it with the original cod4 icon in your installation folder. That should work.
Note: Please back up the original icon first incase something goes wrong.
Only if the game is downloaded from Xbox Live Game Marketplace. If you install a game with its disc it will play from the hard drive, but the disc is still needed for verification.
No, I don't believe so.
Unless you have an expansion pack installed you will need the base game disk in order to play. If you do have an expansion pack any of the disks can be used to play.
No, it will only run with the game installed PLUS the disk in.
Yes you can but it has to be the last expansion you installed, for example if the last one you installed was Bon Voyage you use that disk to play.
as long as it is installed, you can play. but make sure you don't wipe your hardrive.
In general, no. You need the game disk to play an Xbox360 game. Of course there are games you can buy through the online marketplace, and some of those are the same games you can buy on disk. Obviously for marketplace games, you won't need a disk. The Xbox360 does have an "Install Game" option once you've inserted the disk. However, you'll still need the disk to play. Once installed, the game is able to load some features faster, but it does not eliminate the need for the disk. The other topic to bring up is console modification. Through a risky not-for-beginners modification process, it's possible to enable the Xbox360 console to play the games you backed-up to hard drive, without the disk. Be warned that modifying your Xbox will void your warranty, and may get you banned from Xbox Live.
Install a game as usual, but choose to install it on the memory stick. Some games will then work on other PC's without installing them but you'll probably still need the disk. Some games, Like Half Life (the original) work without a disk, so I installed that onto a USB and I could play it at friends houses!
No, games need to be installed locally onto the hard drive of the computer you wish to play it from.
Buy your games from Steam at steamcommunity.com or from Direct2Drive.com. You can purchase and download your games instantly with these two programs. No disk required!
Some games require that the game disk be present in the drive to play. Other games do not require this. The only way to circumvent the need for the disk to be present is to go on the internet and search around for a cheat that will allow the game to be played without the disk.
if you've already installed it, yes. if you havent, no
Yes and No. You would not be able to play games from a disk but you should be able to play games installed to your hard-drive, these hard-drive games would be limited to arcade and demo downloads ONLY. Any games you have installed from your disks (assuming you are connected to XBL and have the new update) would not be playable as the console needs the disk inserted to boot the game up. This is assuming the drive has broken and not actually been completely removed, In either case using your 360 is a bad idea and can only cause more damage, possible fire and electrecution risks would probably also be an issue.
Well if you have it installed then just try to open it and if you cant then you would have to buy the disk
