Dvd Drive Broken, Help.

Re: Dvd Drive Broken, Help.

Right click the virtual drive in "My Computer" and choose explore... You should get the content of the cd in a explorer window, if you dont you havent mounted the image in the drive...

Ya, that's what I meant, thanks Mr NiceGuy.

I had to go to work that's why I went quiet.

5.0 Running the images
With DAEMON Tools installed on your machine Running or ‘Mounting’ the image take a matter of seconds.

1. If you haven’t already, make sure DAEMON tools if running. You will no this when there is an icon in your taskbar that is red and when hovering above it says DAEMON tools.
2. Right Click on this and go into Virtual CD/DVD Drive emulation. Then go down to set the number of drives. If you plan on doing this one more than one CD change it so it fits your needs.
3. Now in Virtual CD/DVD Drive emulation go to your Drive (Mine was called Drive G) and go to ‘Mount-Image’ Navigate to were you saved your mini-images and then double click on the one that shows up. There should only be one of your 2 files being shown (the one with a suffix of .mds)

Once it is mounted correctly a pop-up should appear with the contents of Disk-One. You are now done!

Re: Dvd Drive Broken, Help.

Can you see the image drive when you open My Computer.

Secondly, try to open the disc when it's mounted and try to explore it. Just to make certain it's working.

nope - nothingi n my computer, and what do you mean by open the disc?

Place the image anywhere, once extracted from the zip.

You will need a program like Alcohol 120% or DAEMON tools to mount the image and run it.

Its loaded >< but it still says insert a cd, more info ont hat, the .mds file is loaded as "drive 0" on Daemon, but still i get the error message.

Moved to Tech Center..this really isn't a BF2 specific problem.

Using a No-DVD utility will be considered a hack or a cheat and most ceratinly a violation of the EULA, since you are not allowed to modify, add or remove any part of the game. I'm guessing that PB will ahve your butt in a wringer if you try.

Get a new DVD drive - they are as cheap as buying a new CD-version of BF2 and you won't lose precious stats...

Cheers :-)

Yes using a crack may get you in trouble with punk buster, but using a mini-image mounted in deamon tools is ok.

NO way this will happen. If you own the original BF2 u can do whatever u like. i have my DVD used 5-6 times from last July. Only after formating my PC. So when EA really plan on block my account? When noone plays BF2 anymore???:p

USe whatever image you want mate but keep in mind that u have to legaly own your copy of the game. U need a valid CD key to play multi after all. But u may find a new DVD-ROM very usefull for other PC jobs.
