IceWind Dale 2 Here we go again

hey everyone, got some problems with icewind dale 2!!

Alright so i get home install the game fine, NO PROBLEMS with original install.

I make a backup of the game and create a bin/cue file for both cd's with cdrwin.

I UNINSTALL the game (pretty important step

)

I load the .cue file with daemon tools (here's where the problems come in!!)

During the install i get this message

Component: Minimum Uncompressed
File Group: Minimum Uncompressed - Language Independent
File: E:\Data\ANMgobl.bif
Error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)

Could it be the .bin file I made is garbage (i've done this before I don't think so)

What I think is that icewind dale 2 has some protection on it that won't allow it to be loaded from a virtual drive (is this possible?)

Or could it be just that the protection won't allow a .bin file to be created?

Thanks everyone!!!!

The most obvious answer is that you made a corrupt bin, your read speed was probably too high and some data was corrupted. To verify this, use CD Mage to scan the bin file for errors. Low severity errors can be fixed by CD Mage, but don't count on it. If you find any errors that can't be corrected, (very probably) you have to make a new image, make sure you put the read speed to 4x or lower. If it keeps giving errors, try either reading at 1x speed, or try copying the files to hard disk to make a new compilation cd with the right label. IWD2 will have a cd check at most, so this should be possible.
