Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

[Guest]

I get the Data error (cyclic redundancy check) when trying to install VC. I had to uninstall it because it was modded and now, using the same disk, I cant re-install the game.

Screen shot here

Please help asap

Its driving me nuts

Looks like your disk is damaged. I'd do three things:

First, give it a wash to clean off any dirt

Second, try it again

Third, go and buy it again

i have this problem as well, it occurs in certain disk drives. If i install it trough my CD-RW drive i get that error, if i use my DVD drive then i have no problem

[Guest]

hmm interesting, i used it thro my cdrw drive, then i tried rippin them onto the hardrive and using isos becuase it always used to hand like right before it finished, maybe i should just use my normal drive

I think that if you copy the files from the CD into a ISO file and then use Alcohol 120% to run it as a virtual drive should fix it

yeah, clonecd has a good virtual drive proggie called "sheepdrive". works like a charm

think of those 700mb image files as really really big cracks.

Put the CD in you primary dvd or cd drive the way to find that out is to right click on my computer and go to explorer and if it says some thing like this g:/dvdram h:/CDrom then you put the disk in you dvdram or whatver letter comes first. if you play mta and dont dont put you vice city disk in the primary drive you play the game for 5 seconds and then it takes a crap.
