LOTR The Return of the King

[bobfffg]

i am getting really choppy loading and and sound

so you're mod is working as its booting the game, though not quite as expected - this sounds like the behaviour of a bad burn or a dodgy dvdr, try a reburn, and yes try using Nero or re-read the image into RNM (could be a bad image file), how badly fragmented is your drive? might be worth checking that out too.

could also be a dirty laser, is the problem happening with any other of your backups? if so it might be worth giving the laser a clean....
