As soon as i Started the game i took care of the "walk free" and "one man army" achievements... I activated the cheats that effected them and was still able to unlock others... so then i completed the "cleaned the mean streets" achievement (which is apparently the only other one that can possibly be blocked out) and I can STILL get achievements. I am almost 100% sure that you can get achievements as long as you complete those 3 that lock with cheats.
I'm so sure, that I saved over my normal game and I am continuing to get achievements as they come.
Lets hope im right.
EDIT: OH and by the way... if anyone wants to know and can check my gamer profile, i unlocked the achivements after walk free and one man army with the Cheats that affected them, and likewise for anything after Clean the Mean streets.
Right now i have all cheats in my cell phone and i'm still getting achievements.

As stated in many other threads including how to get all the achievements ahead of time that yes only 4 get disabled. Thank you though.

But I still don't think it's been confirmed that you can 100% the game if you use cheats. Right? That's why I'm not using them.

What exactly are the 4 achievements that do not unlock with cheats on? Cause I might consider using an extra save as a cheat-profile mainly to see if I can get some help to go for that Liberty City Minute achievement.

I used the full health + body armor cheat at least 50 times(as well as the reduce wanted level and full ammo cheats) and was still able to get the "cleaning the mean streets" achievement and game completed percentage after that, on the same save.

I heard a rumor that it is possible to corrupt your hard drive by using cheats does anyone know if this is true

Damn this GTA forum is hectic with new threads. Thx for the help guys. Btw, dunno cheats would corrupt your hard drive. Someone's probably just pulling your chain. I think it was really risky using cheats in GTA: San Andreas because it would mess up your saves but I doubt using cheats in GTA IV could affect your HDD. Sounds kinda silly but if that's true that would suck.

That's bullshit. Someone's messing with you. Or they got extremely unlucky and their HDD coincidentally failed while playing GTA or something.
