Nightlife Noise and Installation
Starpoo:
Aren't my titles great?
Anyway, after uninstalling TS2 :o and reinstalling :) it on the other...partition, I can't re-install NL. The CD makes a terrible roaring sort of noise that is mostly muffled by holding on to the...I don't know what it's called, of the disk drive. Only two other CDs that I know of do this. However, it doesn't stop there. About 12, 13% completion, it stops, and my laptops makes a clicking noise that makes me nervous and a BSoD! I have to forcefully turn it off. Wait for a POST error, then off and on again for full functionality.
Make sense?
I decided to come here before going to Tech. Support (again). Google was of no help.
HomeschooledByTards:
It sounds like you have a bad CD. Torrent NL and install it that way.
Starpoo:
Are you suggesting that I ARRR! it? :D Know any good sources/authors(?). I was kinda hoping EA would give me a free digital download or replace the disk. I should look into that...and reinstall Torrent.
HomeschooledByTards:
They might replace the disk, but it would be easier to just torrent it. isohunt.com is a good place to start looking. utorrent is a small and well made torrent client.
EA's digital downloads force you to use their EADM software with DRM and blah crap. Plus, I found that the download speed was considerably less than a decent torrent.
J. M. Pescado:
A clicking noise followed by a BSOD is a sign of failing hardware. Listen closely to see what is clicking: The CD drive, or possibly your hard drive. The status of the disk is indeterminate. A normal lappy CD drive should never click or make other weird noises, as the CDs are rigidly locked to the spindle, and such noises indicate something has gone horribly wrong with the computer.
