Sh-4 Install Problem # 1,???,???1

The dvd has been scratched and the drive can't read it.

Since patch 1.3 removes the need for the dvd to be in the drive, you can install using the dvd from a friend, patch to 1.3 and then play even if your disk is broken.

PS: try and clean the disk, maybe it's just dust.

Thx maerean_m

Will give that a try. I don't see any scratchs tho.

But I have a few friends who have the ebay $10.00 versions and will use one of theirs.They thought I was crazy for getting the $60.00 pre-order version.

Maybe the lens of your DVD player is dirty rather than the disc being scratched. And when you clean it, use a dry, soft cotton cloth and gently clean from the inside to the outside (so, no circular movements).

I had the same problem when trying to install in Vista 32-bit, but managed to install SH4 in safe mode without any errors.

I read somewhere that Nero 7 might be causing the error..

@ FIREWALL - I'm guessing you put the dvd upside down on the tray :rotfl:

That would be a good bet I think, oh well, it happens to the best of us, I normally put a DVD in on top of another one. @ Firewall, hope you enjoy the game!!
