Problems with Torrents... again

[schmidz]

Using bitcomet i downloaded Diablo 2 torrents, and using Alcohol 120% i started downloading Diablo 2 into playable format. I've tried loading with all the different parts of installation sizes, from single player, multiplayer and full install and it keeps coming up with the "need disk in drive error" because it can't read certain part of disk.

Using: Alcohol 120%- Mount Image
Bitcomet- Torrent Loader

Problem: "setup can not read a required data file. Your diablo II cd may not be in CDROM"

Missing file" D2data.mpq

So what i'm really asking is: Isn't using the torrents suppose to mean that i don't need a disk?

help wanted

[Shellz]

the torrent was missing d2data.mpq i think you'd have to find it download it and put it in the proper place.

[schmidz]

ok, i see what you mean. What is a good progam to view or .CUE .BIN files (if possible)

[hellsing293]

try mounting it with daemon tools. i mount everything with that and it seems to work. he file you downloaded was an iso right?

[John]

I find torrents are often unreliable, but i use them anyway. only about 1/8 of the torrents i try to use are inactive, but once in a while i find something nice. have you tried torrentreactor.com, i got afew off there .

I'll try Daemon Tools and Torrentreacter see what i can find, i found another torrent that might work. Thx for help

And the ones i'm having probs with are .cue and .bin, i thought they were iso but it was "mislabled"

[wm_hunter]

I like ISOHunt myself out of the free ones (torrent sites). link

I prefer PowerISO to Dameon, but both are good.

[Gods]

Daemon doesnt work for me either I've tried using it for Battlefield2 and it does not work it says disc is not in drive.. anyone know how to fix this??

[schmidz]

Things i've tried: 2 different torrents (2nd one is .iso files)
-Alcohol 120%
-Daemon Tools
-BitTorrent
-BitComet(currently using)

Problem: Cannot continue download because disk is not in CDROM

Solution:?

[bigdeath]

Try power iso and mount it to that. To me I think its much more versatile and supports more file extentions.

Oh and when you play make sure the iso is in your virtual drive

[schmidz]

I tried power iso, it works good, but it still didn't load. A file has been misplaced and is in wrong torrent, is there a certain way to replace this file to other torrent?? like copy paste type thing...

Currently drunk ^.^

I see alot of problems with this. I myself use alcohol 120% cause I trust it and cause the elby company joined forces with them so they can cover protection better now.

Iso Problem

Problem: "setup can not read a required data file. Your diablo II cd may not be in CDROM"

You have this error because the images you have arent complete. Whoever did them forgot to add security write protection which covers the files that are necessary.

As for the problem with the cd not being in the cd rom, you can either add 'Ignore Media Type' and 'RMPS (Recordable Media Physical Signature) Emulation' in the Emulation options window.
You may want to try activating 'BAD Sectors Emulation' and Sub-Channel Data Fixed and Emulation' in the Extra Emulation options.

there are 2 things you can do to make it think its in the drive.
1. Get Clonecd and activate 'Hide CDR media'
or..
2. Go to run and type 'regedit' without the quotes and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II
from there you will see a REG_SZ labeled 'DiabloIICD'. change the letter to the image drive.

Example: if DiabloIICD is set to your D: drive, and your image drive is F: change it to F:

and that should make it work.

BTW. this regedit trick WILL WORK FOR GAMES THAT ASK FOR THEIR CD *coughff8cough*

[schmidz]

i've tried everything you said, execpt regedit because i am trying to install it not just run it, this is what everything looks like.

[trayne]

during its check it cant find a part of the d2data.mpq file. whoever did the image didnt realize that its protected by safedisk and secuROM. you may want to have a friend make one for you and have them turn it into a torrent.

[schmidz]

Thanks for all your help everyone but i got the answer from Divines' how-to.

thx ne way
