GRAN TURISMO 3 AND 4 problems PS2

Have just bought these two games for my ps2 but both games keep locking me out - in the instruction gt4 there is a brief mention about consulting the ps2 manual, unfortunately that is long gone so I'm throwing myself over to this forums greater wisdom

What do you mean when you say ''locking out?'' I once had a problem with my PS2 running GT4 after letting it run for over 48 hours, though after that it started having other problems too. GRAN TURISMO 3 AND 4 problems PS2
on gt 4 the little white dial on bottom centre of the screen goes red and stays like it - I've left the machine on for over an hour and nothing changes (i've done this more than once) and on gt3 I can't get access to even domestic basic b driving test when I attempt to load the first lesson a little white square appears in the top left hand side of the screen - and thats it nothing else happens

Its a problem with it reading the disk, I had the exact same problem. This is either a problem with the game disk or the disk drive in the PS2 (which was the case for me). The only solutions i can offer is to either get a replacement copy of the game, or to try and use a CD lens cleaner. If both of these solutions fail then you will need to replace the console.
Just seems strange that its the only these games, all my other games work fine
Mnay thanks for your help folks
if your games were used they could have been sun damaged
Sun damaged?
some kid could have left it in the sun and the heat expansion destroys the data
I have the same problem on GT4 where the white spinning dial turns to red that means disc read error even the disc surface is ok, no scratches. So, I decided to copy the the GT4 disc and then now I can play GT4 with the new disc that i have been copied. That's simple is it?

it wont play copies until you mod it with special items or use a special disc that allows it to happen
Yeah, I'm think that i'm using GT4 game that had been moded. The original GT4 disc usually has the capacity that more than 5GB but the game disc that had been moded has its capacity less than 4.7GB. Actually, I didn't know how to modding the disc but the disc that i had been used is a kind of pirated discs.
gt4 uses a 8.74 gb dual layer disc probably only one of 3 games to use dual layer on ps2
I have GT4 and it runs just fine for me.

I do have some complaints about it though. I miss the arcade type racing of 1 and 2 and they got rid of the racing Mod????

that hurt me the most right there. lol all in all its still an ok racing game = p
