Cannot re-install

[Kyuzo 0]

Before anyone tells me to go check the FAQs, I'll explain.

I've been trying to reinstall Flashpoint for some time now, and it always gives me a file read error on data.pbo. I tried something a little while back, where I manually copied the files from the CD onto my hard drive. They all worked except for data.pbo.

I've reinstalled Windows, disabled my burner, updated my ASPI layer, I've tried everything.

Specs:

Pentium III 600

Riva TNT2 Ultra 32

SB Live

128 MB

20 GB HD + 60 GB (Tried installing to both)

Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried booting in Safe mode or Command Prompt mode to copy the file?

Sound's like your CD is scratched or dirty dude.

Data.pbo is a large file so it covers a large section of the CD. If your CD is scratched or dirty, there is a good chance that the file effected will be data.pbo..

That's a good idea to copy it in safe mode, but I have two questions:

1) How do I load the CD drivers in safe mode, normally peripherals aren't loaded in safe mode.

2) How do I boot to safe mode without crashing my computer intentionally?

Just restart your computer and when it starts again keep hitting F8 and keep hitting it until you see a screen and it says "Boot up in Safe Mode" or some thing like that.But press F8 imidiatly when it restart.
