Call of Duty installation problem

bloodriot · #1 01-11-2003, 21:36

hey

i burned both cds fro cod right they both do the autorun or whatever, but during the middle of the installation, it asks me to put disc 2 in as normal, but for some reason it doesnt continue and just keeps asking for disc 2, like it cant read it or something.

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Sounds like you didnt copy CD2 correctly.
What steps did you go thru?

uninstall any cd burning program that u may have, try to get rid of everything related to those programs, clonecd,blindwrite, alcohol, leave your pc naked without any cd burning software including nero also.GOOD lUCK, it worked fine for me, then get the nocd crack!it wont work offline without the nocd crack!

ive had the same problem and found a workaround..

just install the first cd then wenn it asks for 2nd cd (wich wont be accepted..) press cancel .. then exit setup and then wenn it asks if u want it to rollback select NO, now put in the second cd and go to setup->data->main and copy the files to you C:/callofduty/main folder

ive copied the rsrc folder into the callofduty folder 2 , but i dont know if this is required.. but it doesnt hurt so..

now you can play

!

Yes, the two of you were finally able to install the game.

Buy the game.

Concede, more assumption than I normally use.

Its a common problem when people copy a CD wrong. People with originals are able to install ok. And Bloodriot has a history of downloading files in games with rar and srv formats.

Ahh, I see that now. Guess I'm just not one to forum troll..

so i get the files off of disc 2 and i put them into the main folder, but it still doesn't work, i also took the rsrc folder and put it into the Call of Duty folder... and it still says insert the CD... but it's in the drive... i don't have any CD R, W, or RW prgms on my system and it's annoying... any help would be great...

you can make a backup of the original cod 2 cds,with the latest blindwrite 5.1.as long as you copy them as safedisk 2.
you can download a trial blindwrite,and that will work.
you can install the game with the copys,and also play with the first disk in the writer.
also,it doesnt matter if you have any copy software,alchol,blindwrite in your windows,it still will work.
hope this works for you,it does me.

You need to name the CD's COD1 and COD2 when you burn them and it will install fine
