Alright I'll try to cut the story short but basically my Mass Effect disk has a very tiny crack that makes it freeze up from time to time and be unreadable when hitting certain areas of the game. I have tried installing the game to my hardrive but the "disk unreadable" error pops up after it's 97% installed, which is very irritating.
Now to the question, a friend of mine has a fully functional copy of Mass Effect. If I installed his copy of the game to my hardrive, but then tried to use my copy of the game to play would I be able to play? Or does the game have some sort of unseen code (kind of like the codes found in computer games to prevent piracy) that impedes other disks of the same game from working on a hardrive that has another copy of the game installed.
Input would be appreciated as I wouldn't like to buy a second copy of a game just because the first has a small flaw that impedes me from fully enjoying it.
