Author Topic: Game installation problem Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 08-17-2004 06:07 PM                     A friend of mine bought the newest 2-CD 'Black & White' game. We ran the installaton disk until it tells you to put in Disk 2 (data disk). When you put in disk2, it reads it for about 10 seconds & spits it back out. Now, we tried on two seperate Macs running current versions of OSX, both failed. Next, we brought the game back to the store & got a new one; same problem occured with those disks too. I also tried to make a copy of the data disk & run that one, but had the same problem. (NOTE: You can put the data disk in when you aren't in the insall & it reads it fine & you are able to access the data) Do you think there is just a batch of bad Data disks out there or is it something to do with our computers? Should my friend just give up and get a new game?  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2004 06:13 PM                     I'm not a MAC users and so unfortunately I can't help you with this issue. I have to say though that if your friend ends up getting a new game Doom 3 kicks much ass .  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2004 06:17 PM                  quote: Nate Lehrke Should my friend just give up and get a new game?
