Copy all contents of CD 1 to a temporary folder, as mentioned by Asimov (cheers mate).
From CDs 2, 3 and 4 copy the
data*.cab files (data3.cab, data4.cab and data5.cab respectively) to the same temporary folder. From CD 4 copy also the "Extras" folder.
To avoid the "Please Enter Disc 4" problem, do the following:
Open the "setup.inx" file with a hex editor (I used a demo version of UltraEdit). Do a search for "autorun.inf" in "ASCII" mode and you will find two entries. Now all you have to do is rename those entries replacing one character (I changed them to "autoruk.inf"). *Important*: Do not add or delete any character, because you will make your file unusable. Save your file as "setup.inx" (If you use UltraEdit, the program will automatically save your original file as "setup.inx.bak". You don't need this file.)
Next, make a copy of "autorun.inf" and rename the copy to whatever you named your entries in the "setup.inx" file (i.e. "autoruk.inf"). Edit the new file and replace the entries
[Disk]
Disk=1
Label1=Disk1
to
[Disk]
Disk=4
Label4=Disk4
Now you must have two .inf files in your folder. This will eliminate the "Disc 4" annoying error!
Finally, you may want to import the no-cd crack to your project, so when you install the game, you don't have to replace the .exe file to play. You will need the no-cd .exe (swkotor.exe) and
i6comp 1.03b. Just do the following:
Copy all your data*.* files (data1.cab, data1.hdr, data2.cab, data3.cab, data4.cab and data5.cab) to a new temporary folder (i.e. Temp2). Copy also the no-cd crack (swkotor.exe).
Copy the "i6comp.exe" from the .zip archive to your windows folder (C:\Windows or whatever you have).
Open a command prompt pointing at your new temp folder and write exactly as you see it the following:
i6comp r data1.cab swkotor.exe
This will replace the swkotor.exe inside the cabs with the no-cd crack and modify the data1.hdr.
When the procedure is complete, close the dos box, copy the data*.* files back to your first temporary folder and replace the original data*.* files.
