Anyone help!!

I had the original The Sims. I made a copy of it and it works fine. The original cd got cracked, I put it in my dvd drive and it shattered. Now i only have my copy. I still have all 4 expansions. no copies. I'm trying to install on my new computer. the sims isn't really installed it's just all the files and a reg hack to make it think it's the original cd. I have it stored on my hard drive.It plays fine but when I try to install The Sims: Livin' Large, it says that location "." needs 3149176 bytes but only -1kb is available. my sytem is a brand new Sony Vaio 1.6 ghz with 512 mb ram. Can anyone offer some "Real" advice? Or do I have to spend another $50 on a new original cd-rom?
