BnW2 winxp 64

[kamei]

Hi i run win xp 64, and i bought a black and white 2 hoping i would be able to play it despite not having a cd-drive connected. The reason for this is i run 7800 cards in sli, and i dont have enough power to drive those two cards , my harddisks, and a cd drive at the same time.

I install the game via a network mapped cd drive from another computer, but it wont recognize the cd via the network drive.

I tried downloading the various images here and mount them with filedisk with no luck.

Does anyone know of a solution that could help me? any programs out there that can mount theese images on win64 yet?
Thank you for your time.

Does anyone know of a solution that could help me?Buy a better power pack for your computer.

i shoulda expected that answer, the problem is i cant find anything with more power than 750, and my screencards, my 8 harddisks in raid, and my memory eats it up.

any other suggestions?

So why don't you simply use TWO PSUs? One for the hdds for example and one for the rest... don't know how to get the second one running without a mainboard / powerswitch connected, but some way it should work... :)

yeah, thought about that, i could mod it into the case so it wouldnt look too bad, but problem would as you say not havin it connected to the motherboard.

like i would have to start it before i start the computer, but i guess if i use a single one for just the cd drive, it shouldt cause any troubles, ill give it a shot ^^ ty
