2nd disk wont load??? Iccorrect or Missing CD

[rclosser]

I just bought brand new copy of Hardwar from Amazon. It was sealed and definitely brand new. I played the game using the 2.04 patch through the first disk but when I entered Psycho Bobs and the game asked for the 2nd disk, I put it in it told me the disk was Incorrect or Missing CD. The disk spins but it never reads it I guess. I haven't the slightest idea why it won't recognize this disk. I'm running windows 7 and running the game in Win98 compatibility mode. Please help... I've loved this game for 15 years or more and am looking to learn more about the mods and whatnot.

Can your cd drive even see files on it?

also, deleting media.txt in your install directory will skip the requirement for the cd.

Copy all .GDV files from both CDs into Hardwar main directory and will work.

I copied all gdv files and deleted media file and its now asking for disk 1??? I'm kinda lost at this point. I've tried everything that's been suggested but nothing. Im running windows 7 if that helps.

Here, replace your media.txt with this one. This should make the the videos optional.

Just copy and pace the text inside of code and make sure none of the lines merge.

The original UK distribution had a corrupted disc 2 in it - i got one of ebay, the drive in my laptop is not able to open it at all. What kind of distribution did you manage to snatch up from amazon? and which amazon, .com, .co.uk, .de. I am curious.

interesting (approximate prices)
amazon.de offers hardwar for 5 EUR (german version)
amazon.com for 15 USD
amazon.co.uk for 45 GBP and the german version for 85 GBP

I assume that people don't usually check the prices of other nationality sites so they don't know it is listed for more or less on other variants.

amazon.com is not equal to amazon.(Insert various domain tiers here.)
