In the past, I have installed and played the game with my current comp.

 

However, the cd somehow got a little damaged, and now Data2.cab on cd1 is corrupted.

 

I tried recovering the file and copying the cd to a folder and installing(it gets an error with the file but I ignore it), and the program crashes even after installation(at the new game screen), so it seems the file wasn't recovered totally.

 

Alot of games tend to let you install with copied cd files, so this should work, and the disc is still almost entirely intact, other than that file, so it should let me use the play disc still.

 

If someone could please just send me data2.cab from disc1, I could install again, and it would be appreciated.

Sorry, its "illegal" to do that. Your best solution is asking SecuRom for a new exe...

No, wait, I do not believe it is illegal to send part, if not the entire thing, to a person if they can prove that they have a legitimate copy. He, or she, said nothing about the .exe, and thus contacting SecuRom would be pointless - do try to read the postings next time.

No, wait, I believe it would be better if you stop pretending to be able to give "legal advice" on the subject.

Relevant part in bold

 

You lose any and all rights to use the game yourself the moment you send even a part of the game to somebody else.

 

You would need to ask Lucas Arts or your retail store for a replacement media. Not sure what their policies are on that though.

EULAs are a gray area and there have been court cases for both sides, but seeing as we are here I will not debate the subject. Although, one could argue that downloading a back-up copy would be legal - even if the uploading was not.

Rather than see this degrade, I believe that Gorth has covered the pertinent reality. Please do note that Obsidian does not condone or support any form of acquiring games that circumvents legally sanctioned avenues. When in doubt with a damaged product, do contact the company through the official support venue (usually listed in the gaming material itself) and often there is a sympathy and desire to assist a geckling get back up and running with a legit copy of software.
