I have no idea! In fact, I know that you can save all you have on CDs, and then reinstall. But I'm here just to get 2 points and say hello to somebody who has a realy nice nickname. Pozdrav!

Use the Spell Check next time. I'm afraid to tell you that your Cd-RW Drive has gone bad. The only  thing that you can do is buy another one, or obtain another one. You can download some diagnostic software for CD-RW drives.

Yea, either add/remove programs, or an uninstall link in the program group, OR if all fails find the folder on the hard drive and delete it. Then reinstall. \n\nOh, also: maybe insert the CD. Some programs have an uninstall link on the autorun of the CD.

Not much to do! :-(\n\nI would try to repair CD. Repair kits are available at some music or at Wall Mart stores. \n\nIf that did not work, I would try to get the manufacturer to replace the damaged disk. You may just have to return the disk.\n\nAnother option is to borrow a friends disk and make an exact copy of it.

I played that game a long time ago, anyways, that couldnt happen unless ur cd is damaged somewhere.. Either that or the person your asking the question to is not the right person.. But if i remember, there's always a question when u ask them.. My advice is to get a new cd.. see if that works.. If it doesnt, then you must missed somting in the game.. Anyways, If any other of those works, i recommend u to go to this website.. www.cheatcc.com... there you can find all the answers for any games... Gud Luck on finishing the game!!

This happened to me after I accidentally installed a driver for a website. I just had to find it in my program files and delete it. The hard part was finding out what and where it was. For me, I remembered that I might have downloaded something the day before. I found it. Good luck.

No, the content is software and the cd drive is hardware, I would think the cd might have defect in the 1st place, or it have the kind of label that is not suitable for it, so it lost its balance during the hi-speed spinning.

I think you burned it wrong...\n\nWhat yuou did was drag and drop the files onto the cd using a program and "save it", (which is why they are only shortcuts)\nT\nhis has none of your actual dato on it! :(

if the safe mode dos'nt works, it sims that you don't have too much options.Try to check the memory modules.You can save your data getting out the hard drive and go to a friend to copy them. Or run Knoppix from cd(or any linux live cd distribution and burn your data on a dvd).This will work if you have two optical drives.You can try to start with your Windows cd, and use the repair ability.Try the "fixmbr" command.\nDon't expect too much from this.Finaly ... format C:

Ok, that's a "classic" problem, I guess...\n\nI have two solutions...\n\n1) If the CD that you are trying to access is burned, then it's a good chance that the CD was not burned properly. "Not burned properly" could mean one of two things: it wasn't finalized (which really only affects audio CD players) or that the information was not burned to the CD. If the CD wasn't finalized (which shouldn't cause a problem for a computer since multi-session discs which allow you to add data to a CD more than one time play fine "un-finalized") you should re-open the program that you used to burn the CD and finalize it. I am unsure which program you may have used, but the terminology of "finalize" could also be "close session" or something to the effect of "don't allow any more writing of data." \n\n2) You should replace your DVD writer (you said that you had a combo drive?). You don't have to replace the entire computer...that's preposterous and like treating a sore thumb with amputation of the arm. The beauty of computers is their modular make up, where if one thing goes wrong, or becomes obselete, you can just replace that. Don't feel like you were misused by the store or company; these things are made in factories at high rates by machines that may make mistakes from time to time. To me it isn't worth it to try to get it repaired because these things are so accessible to the average joe, that you could probably buy one for less than it would cost to get fixed. \n\nIn the end, computer "problems" are really computer solutions waiting to happen. The more problems that you have and fix, the more you learn...until finally you need no one's help. The next thing that you know, you'll be finding computers to fix...you might even get into computer tweaking and overclocking...\n\nBut let's get the drive right first...:=)\n\nHope that helps...!

They may have put it in some unreadable format or the disc might not be good.  Try a 2nd computer.

if its the game then get a no cd crack ( i will let you search for that since half the time you will end up getting spy ware  / viruses doing that ) the best alternative is to use virtual cd or something like this :\n\nhttp://www.virtualcd-online.com/\n\nDo a google search you will find lots of alternatives :) ;) ;)

ask around. i have like 4 disks of it from various motherboards and drives i have purchased. i'm sure people you know have extras lying around.\n\n[edit] sorry i was talking about system mechanic. i'm sure reg mechanic is out there. somewhere. (hint: don't "kickme".)

You didn't loose everything unless they formatted your drive to install and the new XP, which they didn't have to do. If you were working on anything before the crash though that information has been lost because it wasn't saved.\n\nME sucks huh?
