alone in the dark 4 cd version

[theprofno1]

got alone in dark 4 cd version by genius.completed first cd and doesnt recognise next disk.
nfo for backup says to save at end of first disk,save,reset,load in second disk and load save in to continue. guess what..doesnt work
disk loads up but crashes as it tried to load the save game.
only way i found around it was to put my origianl alone in dark in,save on second cd and load save into backup.
but i want to keep kids away from expensive originals
met LOADS of people with same prob,any one figured this one out yet?
