Post: GTA 4 "installing data to hard disk drive" problem +210 *** for solution
04-04-2011, 09:42 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, pretty much every time I try to run GTA IV I get stuck on the loading screen and it says "Installing data to hard disk drive" with a loading bar, but the bar doesn't go anywhere. I've let it sit for hours and it just sits at 0%. Does anyone have an idea why this might be occuring? As said in the title, +210 reputation for a VALID solution. This is on PS3 by the way.

I only have 1 ps3 and it's all on the latest firmware, I never bothered after they patched it. I'll try installing it without the patch now

No luck, still doesn't do anything. I had it backed up back when CFW wasn't patched but the backup never worked, but it worked off the disk. That's why I'm thinking about formatting cuz maybe something's ****ed up from the backup

I'm probably just gonna bite the bullet and format and lose them. I really don't play PS3 much at all. I might just sell some games and get GTA4 for xbox. I repped you for trying to help me though Smile
