Disk Not Recognised - Won't Load Game (UPDATED)
RainbowTigress:
Here's a hint.
Ancient Sim:
Just thought I'd let you know I'm good at taking hints and also very grateful for them ...
Still don't know how this hint would work with the forthcoming non-existent furry EP if I couldn't install it, though (well, short of downloading the entire thing, that is). I suppose I'm going to have to get the drive fixed before it comes out, even if it means doing without the PC. Incidentally, Game Jackal works again now as a result of that SD4 thing. I had a feeling that's what the problem was, it wasn't hiding the virtual drive anymore (whatever that means). This other one is much better though, Game Jackal has to go through all the times you've already used it before it will even start, unless you pay for it, which is a pain. Will keep it though, best to have something to fall back on.

Yes, that's what you do. Download the whole CD, and load it into the virtual drive. I did that with Nightlife, even thought I bought it, I haven' t used the disks because I downloaded it and it worked perfectly without having to do the disk hokey pokey. In fact, I once reinstalled the whole game from the hard drive because I have disk images from TS2 and all the EPs on my secondary hard drive. It's a lot faster and easier than doing the disk hokey pokey. :P

Ok, so I'm double posting. :P I asked my brother-in-law today about your problem, and he says it sounds like the drive is bad. He said for $50 you can get a new CD writer, and it's not hard to put in. I've done a few myself. Of course, I know yours is under warranty. He builds his own PCs and builds them for other people for a small fee. Sorry I don't have better news...I know you hate the thought of sending your PC away.
