I'm trying to install but it keeps saying E:\data2.cab is doing an incorrect function. What does this mean?

[Deadly_Nightshade]

Are your discs scratched, warped, or in any other way damaged?

[Dark Nekio Boy]

Nope not at all. I keep my discs cleaned and take very good care of them

[Deadly_Nightshade]

What about your CD/DVD drive? Has it had problems with any other discs?

[Dark Nekio Boy]

Nope KOTOR 1 installed fine

I tried again but now its saying the Device is Not ready...what does that mean?

[GaspardDeadlyAssailant]

sorry no idea

[Dark Nekio Boy]

Okay it seems that my data2.cab file is corrupted or something. I can't copy it or anything said something about being invalid MS-DOS function

Ok, if the data is really corrupted you need to get a new disc - there should be a contact number in the manual that you can call.

[Dark Nekio Boy]

is there any way i can just get a different data2.cab file and install the game that way? or maybe try to fix the data2.cab file?

[Deadly_Nightshade]

There is one option, but I cannot talk about it on this forum. You might want to try doing this though:

 

Step 1 -- Create a folder on your hard disk, for instance, C:\KCDs.

 

Step 2 -- Copy the entire contents of KotOR 2 CD #1 to that folder

 

Step 3 -- For each of the other CDs, copy only the single filed named dataX.cab to the same folder, where the "X" in dataX.cab is the number 3, 4, and 5 depending on which CD it's on.

 

Step 4 -- Run the installation program Setup.exe from that folder you just created.

 

When you're done installing it, you can delete that folder from your hard disk.

well the only problem is my data2.cab file won't copy. Keeps saying Invalid MS-DOS function.

I'm having the same problem as nekio, except it's with disk 2. And for some absurd reason, my disk appears to be blank so I can't copy any files
