It's either a scratchy disk or bad drive. If you're not having any other issues you can relate to the drive, then I'd say bad disk. If your computer has 2 drives.. try the other drive to install. There's a couple disk repair kits that do a good job of resurfacing old disks. I'd try that before getting another game. But if you don't have a kit already.. and you have to buy one.. It might be cheaper to buy the game
