D2: LOD Install troubles.
 

hey, when i try and install Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, my pc reads the cd fine, and i start installing. It says to put in play disc, i do so, then says to put in LOD disc, after it installs a bit off play disc. I do this also, Then after install for a bit the install gets to D2XTALK.MPQ then asks me to insert the LOD cd, when it is already in. The cd is not scratched heavily, and i have found other people with problems simlilar, others exactly the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is an original cd also. Hamish

Have you tried putting in the original d2 cd when it says put in the lod cd. the original cd has the info on it, try that.

That or you're using a badly pirated copy of LOD. Some so-called "pirates" have troubles burning those files, even though they may be on the cd. =\

Its original copy...
And yeah, i tried putting every other D2 Cd in when it asks for the expansion disc again, no luck

Have you tried cleaning your disc or cleaning your cd rom?

Where at during the burn process does it lock up at, filewise.

D2XTALK.MPQ
thats the file? is that what you mean?

yeah.... Hmm, so you have the origional D2 installed already? Can't you just copy that file file from the CD to the D2 folder?

I tried that, and recieved this error message: Cannot copy D2xTalk: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

Maybe your CD has corrupted data on it.... If it was dropped or bent or got hot it can corrupt the lines the data is put on and corrupt it.

Samething happened to me just mine stops at D2EXP.MPQ, and I tried copying it to another folder and installing it from there but it also wouldnt let me copy it so i copied all except that file and my dad copied the file from my brothers cd and put it on his webpage for me to download and put in the same folder and it worked but it wont install still and i dont have a cd burner to put the file on a cd and what do u mean by putting the whole d2 lod files from the disc straight into the original d2 folders imean wouldnt that corrupt the files???

Make a Virtual Copy.

Well it seems it has copy protection on it. Use Alcohol 120%, it can break protections. Of course you should only use it with something you have paid for:D

Theres a free trial which should be more than enough for your Diablo copying needs
