Another Tech question

TraderVixII · 08-25-2001, 10:39 PM

Ok got another question for you guys.

Situation: Wife's little sister and even younger cousin come to visit for a weekend. I'm wiping the harddrive and doing misc. disk cleaning. I don't notice the cousin has taken my BGII and ToB discs' to use as play toys. After re-installing all the needed parts to my computer I find my discs' MIA. I locate and retrieve my battered and scratched discs' After cleaning them several times I then attemt installation of them. SoA installs fine as does the bonus CD. However, ToB installs to a point then wants me to install "disk 0 that contains file data 3.cab." I'm stumped at this point but I'm also desprate. I begin putting each disc in one at a time. Disc 2 satisfies the requirements but almost as soon as I turn around it wants "file data 4.cab." Catching on to the game I insert disc 3. Once again it wants another file data this time 5, so in goes disc 4. Now I'm stuck. After reading disc 4 and being satisfied with it, it now wants "file data 6.cab." I have gone through all the discs' (including the bonus which causes an error in my drive oddly enough) and I can't seem to get it to accept anything from them.

HELP! Anyone know the answer to this riddle? Could anyone possible direct me to the nearest programmer for assistance? Or does someone know of a patch that might correct this?

Break arms of little cousin by throwing little cousin off roof!! then go on line to Bioware they have some kind of exchange program where you send them
screwed up disks and for a small fee they replace it. I'm not sure if its
Bioware, Black Isle studios or Interplay that will do this but I remember reading about it on line .
PS lock up your disks from now on or just throw yourself off the roof its
less trouble
