The Disk 5 Syndrome

Appley · 10-08-2001, 04:58 PM

Ok.. I had to uninstall... now upon reinstallation it is asking for Disk 5. I have read post after post, yes I restarted my PC, yes I tried all 4 disks,, nothing happens.. it just keeps asking for Disk 5.! Does anyone have any ideas?

This is strange, I've never tried this, try emailing the Black Isle support crew if no solutions present themselves, though I'm sure one of us here can help you.

Have you tried re-inserting Disk1? Mine asked for disk1 again.

Appley · 10-08-2001, 05:26 PM

Yes... when it asked for disk 5 I tried disk 1, disk 2 and disk 3 = no dice. Emailed the tech suppport too and have heard nothing

Did you have ToB installed previosly? Perhaps it is referring to that..

Do you have the collecetor edition? If so its probabully refuring to the bonus CD, if not, I have absolutly no idea on how to help you. :

Sounds like possibly one of your disks has become scratched and is messing up the installation. Try to clean the disks if you haven't already, if not, you will probably have to find 'backups' from a friend, or send away for new cds from interplay. Good luck

No I do not have the collectors edition, and yes it was installed previously but in the process of trying to fix this issue I have removed ALL traces of BG2 of off my PC.

Then I'm assuming that is what is being referred to Disc 5. Place your ToB CD in, and see if it continues.
