|
 |
My sister storms into my room asking if she can play The Sims 2 so i said:"allright,I'll have to install it first thought".
I insert disk 1 and Autorun doens't work:weird.
I go to My Computer and try to run it by clicking on my drive letter.
Doesn't work so I explore the CD and it seems like these files 'are no Win-32 files' => WTF?
Tried to make image with Alcohol=no go.
Now I'm trying to recover the damn cd with CD Data Rescue,hope it works or I'll have to leech it goddammit

i once carved with a knife on the back of a music cd, several huge cuts, you would think it would be ruined. no way, it still played perfect which was really really weird

Fix the scratch with a magic marker, works great.

i remember like 6 years ago when one of my BG2 disks scratched ... i couldnt do the fort quest ofr the barbarian... that was a bitch especially since the idea of that was so novel and cool owning your own fort.

The best thing for scratched CD's is to put some brasso on it. If that doesn't fix it the disk is toast.

I heard butter is good.
I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????
