The title says it all I have got the new Hard Drive, and have started to install my games again. But it keeps on coming up with erro message when installing RTW  . Which of course means that BI won't install either . Which of course means i am stuffed... Any suggestions? |

Might be that windows hasn't been activated yet, but i get the feeling it is something to do with Install Shield/Wizard...

wow
have u done all your updating for windows?
how big is the new hard drive? and why didnt u just make the old HD a main drive and the new HD a slave drive..
slave drive for a new HD is better. u save all important infor on the slave.. so it doesnt bug down the main HD. so u keep you main HD clean of junk. and the slave with all yoru games and stuff u save on to it..
then if problems like this happens u can just put it on the old hd..
but if u are already doing this maybe the HD u got it maybe not compatable with the computer...
check settings in bios..... youll haver to get wiht lycanbs he is the tech suport guy for the main job lol

Yea, I have a major problem... I tried installing the fourth age mod for rtw... well needless to say I completely messed up,  cus I didn't know what I was doing and so i had to uninstall RTW and BI. Well, now it won't let me reinstall... I keep getting the same message as emperor mustard did "error can't read [random file] from drive D" It is really frustrating and makes me never want to get a mod again. my bro is pissed cus we can't play and the game and i feel horrible cus I can't play with you guys... So if someone who knows what theyre doing help me out, give some suggestions... That would be great.. Thanx, Valhalla..  |

Its all good!!! ;D Because i have 2 disc drives and there a multiple cds i usually put the first two in each drive. But for some reason when I did that it wouldnt read the info on the second disk because its in the other drive. So I played aroudn a little and only use one of my two drives and both RTW and BI installed fine. THats kinda weird cus I have installed multidisk games using both drives before, but what ever works I'm happy with! So I'm downloading the BI patch 1.6 as we speak, cus I wiped my comp of every RTW and BI file just to make sure they werent causing any probs. See ya guys in the game. Thx |

. Which of course means that BI won't install either
