It worked fine at a friends house (yes it was mine but he just needed it for the expansion) but I get home and it wont install.
Cab error this and Cab error that. It's just a different error every time I try ot install it. It is almost done too. So close. WTF. Some times it's on the first CD sometimes it's on the 2nd CD. I know if it can make it thru the first CD it has to be somethin stupid if it cant make it thru it again. WTF. WTF. WTF. I don't get it.
What could be the problem. I've tried it in 2 drives. 1CD RW and 1DVD drive. WTF WTF WTF. Can I emphasize again? WTF...
It may have inadvertently been scratched, but that would mean the error would be in the same place all the time. You could d/l Alchohol 120 and see if you could create a image of the CD. That has worked for me.
oh good, i dont like using original cds as mine have a tendency to get scratched, but the only way i could find to copy a cd is using a crack and i dont like doind that!
Well, if it works fine on your friends CDROM drive, it could be possible your CDROM drive is dying. The laser on CDROM drives begin to weaken after a period of time and causes read errors as you mentioned above...
But aren't there limitations when using Virtual Drive and other programs alike? I've tried it before and noticed that certain CDs with protection cannot be properly ripped..
Well, length of usage is not so important sometimes. You could have a brand new drive or any other hardware malfunction in a very short time. *A lemon*
Anyways, is this happening on this particular CD only or has this been a problem with other CDs or DVDs as well?
