GTA SA Disc Errors
 

Hi,

I've got the original gta sa dvd - and was able to install it and run it for about 2 weeks. It then stopped working, so i uninstalled it and then wasnt able to reinstall it. Reason being either a cyclic redundancy check or a bad ms-dos function call - in any case it couldnt copy accross the data1.cab file..

Its a brand new laptop with nothing like alcohol on it - and the drive in it is a dvd rom/cd burner.

Any tips would be fantastic!

Cheers

You can try the DVD in another PC to check if it's the DVD or your LapTop.
(My last brandnew LapTop was also damaged after only three weeks...)

Try to copy all files using windows explorer. Sometimes disc can't be installed but you still can copy it. Better use no DVD crack to protect your original disc.
