Sims Hot Date cd problem

[FazedOut]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me, When I try to install The Sims Hot Date I get the following error:

Component Transfer Error
Component: Expansion Pack 2
File Group:Expansion Pack 2
File: f:\setup\data2.cab
Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/o device error

I'm running Windows xp and have The original sims, livin it up and house party intalled. I have used the same hot date disk before and it worked fine.

Anyone know what to do?

Thanks

Is the disk scratched?
You may have to uninstall, defrag, then reinstall.

Try cleaning the disk

Thanks for your advice, I had already uninstalled then reinstalled because of unleashed crashing, so i defraged and cleaned the disk - properly! and it worked . Fingers crossed Unleashed will work ok now

I've had similar problems happen to me...and usually there's a smudge on the disc and it just needed to be cleaned.

Glad you got it working...and Welcome to TechIMO!
