No More Heroes 2 hanging in-game Loading screen.

I've been playing NMH2 lately with my PAL wii and I haven't encountered any problems till I got up to a certain level within the game and when I load this level, the loading screen just hangs. Strangely I can still interact with it. (In NMH2 if you keep pressing B it makes the spinning star spin faster) The wii is still on and if I hit the wii menu button it has the logo that says I can't. I left it loading for 5 minutes and I'm still stuck on the loading screen.

Anyone know how to fix this? This is running off a retail disc.

UPDATE: I left it for an hour now, and no results. Still hanging. I also made a back up and ran it via USB. Same results.

Is this a hardmodded wii?

Yeah, it is hard modded with a D2All.

load the level. when it "hangs, remove the disc, it should ask you to install the disc again, re-insert it.
