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.

Is this the first time you have used this disc? I had the same problem and I had to return the game. I called Sony and talked to geek squad at best buy and they said that it is an error on the disc not my PS3.

IF you backed it up before, then you gotta format, Since its already been backed up, then it cant back it up and it just stays there.

Hope i helped you man!

Only way is formating.
