BF2 CD Problem

[27thDW]

HI Guys,
I installed BF2 and it keeps telling me to insert installer disc when I start the game. I keep trying to restart the game and I keep getting the same error, I have tried all 3 disc in the CD-ROM and nothing is working. I installed a No-CD crack patch and that worked fine for version 1.0 but after upgrading to version 1.02 the No-CD patch will not work.
I have the same problems with IL2 Forgotten Battles and I use a no-cd patch to run that game. There must be something wrong with the settings for my CD-Rom but I am clueless as to what it is. Can anyone tell me a quick fix for my problem??? I have read some places to take a snapshot of the disc and install that??? I have no Idea what they are talking about??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

I think it's a problem with your CD/DVD-Rom drive.
Try out, if the disc is working on another PC.

could also be safedisc blacklisting, if safedisc detects alcohol / daemon (and even neros image drive which cant do any copy protection emulation) the exe will silently exit right after the cdcheck, so if you have alcohol / daemon installed upgrade to the latest version to avoid the blacklisting, alternatively it could also be the drive is buggered, but if it works on other non safedisc protected titles then its definately the blacklisting

Well as far as I know I do not have any of the programs you described on my PC. I will try to get the latest drivers for my CD-Rom and see if that helps. If not I may just buy a new one.
Thanks!!
