bf1942_1 + 2 installation problems...

Ok, first of all instead of trying to burn them on CD-R(W), I used..."tools" to mount each iso to drives G and H. Then I went to install from the G drive, which was the first CD. It asked for a certain number, which I supplied, then it asked all the folder install info, blah blah blah. Then it started to install, but it unfortunately it began to supply CRC probs for the following files:

..\Battlefield 1942\Archives\sound.rfa
..\Battlefield 1942\Archives\font.rfa
..\Battlefield 1942\lexiconall.dat
..\Battlefield 1942\bf1942.exe
..\Battlefield 1942\Movies\intro.bik
..\Battlefield 1942\Archives\BF1942\Levels\battleaxe.rfa

...Now I clicked ignore for them when it told asked me to retry, abort, blah blah, but I know that they would not install because the installation couldn't verify them (I think) with the cab file.

I have i6comp, but I don't know how to use it and I certainly don't know much about cab files. I tried to extract the files from the cab (can you do that?) using i6comp so I could manually put them in the install dir, but I was only met with a message that it couldn't open data1.hdr! WTF? It states that it is a cab file.

Please help someone, I am not battling in 1942!

You need to have the .hdr file as well as the .cab file in order to use i6comp. If there is no data1.hdr file then i6comp cannot be used - u can try Winrar or winace for these.

i got an error on my install too

i mounted my images with deamon it said this game has cdilla 2 so mayby thats why when i tried mounting it it didnt install right?
cd1 installed ok but it asked for cd2 and was looking for data3.cab and said specified file isnt in the media. im not gonna give up tho. im gonna try to burn it to a cd and see if it installs then. maybe the cd2 i obtained was currupted and i should get another?
