SteveThaiBinh Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 This looks pretty serious. I doubt it's a conventional bug - it might be a hardware fault with your drive or the CD might be faulty.

EnderAndrew Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm guessing you have a bad disc. Contact LucasArts to replace the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 It is definitely a disc error: try reading / installing a different game / piece of software from the same drive. It succeeds?

craig_fosse_313 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 cleaning the disk didnt really work, but it has now come up with a new error the component and file is the same but the error is now : eroor: Data error (cyclic redundancy check) any ideas this really is getting stressful! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturers used to do that, and EA still does, I think. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet you've got a physical error on the disc. Try it in another pc, and that will tell you for sure. Just go back to where you bought it and tell them your sob story, or call up the help line on the back of the box and tell them; I'm sure they will swap the broken disc for a new one OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
