NO you can not!
Keep hassling EA for a replacement.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us here at Electronic Arts Technical Support.

If your game disk has been determined to be defective upon purchase, or has been damaged due to misuse or wear, our warranty department can replace it for a nominal fee. Click on the following link for replacement instructions and associated fees:

http://ea.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ea.cf...nformation.php

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Should you require further assistance about this or any Electronic Arts games in the future please visit our website and review our extensive Self Help knowledgebase (http://support.ea.com)

Don't think it can help me as the policy states I need to return a product I no longer have.
But I do have the reciept (newegg), I also have a police report of her allegedly stabbing me to prove the instability of the relationship.

I asure you this is a legitimate request.
Anyone have the number for EA so I can pursue this further?
Sorry if off topic

Yes, it's off-topic so, please, find your solution in the proper forum (which this is NOT). I would recommend that you buy another copy instead - it might much less of a hassle than bugging people at Electronic Arts. (Perhaps, if you still have a proof of purchase - bill, jewel case, manual, whatever -, they can give you a deal...?)

burp... yes its off topic (somewhat) as KEY DISKS to prevent piracy is the only reason this site exsists.

Just wanted to say that BUGGING EA was the only way to go and worked quite well.
They are replacing my disks for a nominal charge plus shipping and handling even though my situation doesn't follow the criteria for replacement.

Hey guys!

I got a problem. I made an image of Disc one, like you guys are written here in this thread. I tried games x copy, alcohol 120 and clonecd for making an image, so now i got three images of disc one, .xmd, .mdf, .img.

now i tried to load one of the images in daemon tools 3.47 an tried to start the game. there isnt any message of wrong cd or something like this, just the start screen is there, and is something like frozen. well, i think im gonna explain this more: you want to start the "mainapp.exe" and then there is a little screen right in the middle of your desktop, and this white screen is frozen, and nothing will happen.

I tried to mount the images in daemon tools, alcohol 120, virtual clone drive and nero image drive. i also tried the tool sd4hide but i think this tool even doesnt work correktly...

I hope you guys can help me! and sorry for my grammatical mistakes.

ps: i never got any problems with images or something, nfs-mw, nba 06, everything just works fine, but with madden 06 i lose my hope...

thanks for any replies

That problem is actually caused by madden. You need to go to C:/program files/madden 06. In there, there is a music folder. Change it from /Music to like musicxxx or something like that. That has been a problem in madden for a few years now.

its very simple... unmount the image from daemon and remount it... game should work provided you made a good image
