Re: Checking file integrity
I can sympathise with that.
My Rollercoaster Tycoon CD was getting old, so it was quite scratched from
the day-to-day wear it had endured. I tried installing it on one of my
computers, and it would hang EVERY time. It wouldn't install over the
network, and it wouldn't work if you copied the files over manually.
Funny thing was, it installed on another computer just fine!
I tried copying it onto a CD-R at regular speed (x32)... but it still didn't
work... waste of a CD. I ended up going back to the computer that read it,
copying the files onto a temporary directory, then manually creating a new
CD with the same attributes (label, etc) as the old. I burnt it at 4x on to
the CD-R, and it worked fine.... just wierd.
