In order to install patch v1.03, "Tank" has to get the game to install first.

A mate of mine bought a game once, and packed inside were blank disks. They were official disks with labels and all, they just hadn't been written to.

I had a similar problem with another game, where i could load up other cd's just not that particular one, even tho it had loaded before. I tried it on another computer and it was able to read it so i deduced it had to be the drive itself. Still dont know what it is to this day as i have since bought a new laptop.

Well I exchanged the retail disk at the store and got another of the same, no joy.
On my explorer for my DVD drive it shows nothing at all, just like if I did not have a disk in it. Arrrrrrrgh

I will not give up just yet UBI is wrestling this beast with me.

Your drive may be fried...

Will it read other DVD media?

Just a thought......load the disk and shut down the computer. Restart. Normally the disk drive will spool up looking for a disc...as if perhaps you are reloading the entire operating system after you reformatted. Give that a try and maybe it will recognize the disk.
