Hi guys. I have tryied to make a backup of B&W and i messed up. I did excactly what GCW says. The version is UK and I did the following. I copied everything, hidden files and all, into a directory which I will call "temp". I then extracted the contents of the "patch archive" into "/temp", what the archive contains is "bnw_uk.bat" and "cdcopy.txt", its the small .rar file just under the "Black & White v1.0 [ENGLISH] CD-Copy/Fixed EXE" heading. Then it says, extract the contents of "Executable Archive" into the temp dir. And so I did, I extracted the .rar file, size 1.8, into "/temp", the "Executable Archive" contains an excecutable by the name of "runblack.exe". Then I have to "Extract the I6COMP.EXE from the I6Comp v0.2 archive to TempDir.", and I extracted the whole .zip file I found here, on CGW, into "/temp". The file is called "i6comp02.zip" and contains several files in it. I extracted them all. Anyway, it then says, "Execute BNW_UK.BAT from the TempDir to replace the game executable in the installation files." and when i did that I got numerous error messages, most of them were "file not found" when the .bat file was trying to delete files. (I really think this is not a problem since the .bat 's job is really to delete files that would be burned with the rest into a blank cd, which could be rather unpleasant.) I BURNED the contents of the directory, not the directory itself though, into the cd. Now when i try to load the game, files load from the cd, and after a while i get an error message which reads something like "Cannot locate the CD-ROM, please insert th correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application."
First i want to apologise for writting you guys so much, I even wrote things that are pretty much granted to me, and to most people. But i wanted to be as describing as possible. I really think I missed a thing and done something wrong during the whole procedure. I would hate to start burning "test cd's" and then throw them away, i am pretty sure that some of you hate that too. Anyway, i would REAlLY appreciate any help, please. BtW i have the original copy of the game, the version, as said above, is UK. And I am following the Uk "cd-copy/fixed exe" thing. I want to make a backup, no "no-cd" cracks or something. Thanx for any help.
