Help needed: Running games off of HDD [STRANGE!]

Hey guys just recently bought a 4Gb slim 360 with 320Gb HDD, it had plenty of games installed. Please read through and help me the best you can, thanks.

Notes -
Board: Trinity
Glitch Type: Glitch2
NXE Dash: 16357
Installed FSD using the latest installer available (no beta updates installed)
Installed DashLaunch 3.11 to boot F3 on start

Here is what the trouble is, the games already installed on the HDD run fine, don't need discs. They are rips AFAIK, for example the directory structure is like HDD:\My Games\GOW3\*files* (they are not GOD containers, so naturally i use xex menu or F3 to launch them.)

A couple of days back I bought a few DVDs from a local shop (100rs wali), new and old games like Halo 4, Thief, Diablo 3 and Dark Souls 2; all wont run without discs :/
- i tried installing the games > nxe2god, crash
- i tried DVD Extract from F3, crash
- i tried CopyDVD from xexmenu, crash
- i tried with and without $systemupdate folder, and guess what? crash

Wth am i doing wrong? As soon as I start a game without the disc it crashes each time like the game couldn't be launched try downloading again or fatal crash intercepted etc or sometimes (this happens with Thief) the loading screen would show then freeze, console would become non-responsive and i would have to power off and restart. But when i pop in the disc the game works fine :|

I have a sucky internet connection so cant download games hence buying these discs are my only option; its getting really frustrating for me, can anybody help?

you are not creating the image of the game properly or maybe the nand image of your console needs updating/reflashing ... nothing can be said without a proper hands on diagnostic from me ..

@Quadzilla quite possibly you have bad burn discs, it's a common problem with market wali discs !
IF you have a JTAG why not simply download the game from the internet yourself, copy to hdd and enjoy.
Ignore the above line, read the comment about your sucky internet connection.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
