|HfH|Tsavong La Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I have sent a mail to the tech support team about this, but was curious as to whether or not anyone else has experienced this. I am asked to insert disc 1 everytime I start a new game, despite the disc being in the drive. I have one cd-rw drive and a dvd writer. Both show up in their proper slave/master configuration on startup, and the jumpers are set correctly. Strangely DXDIAG only reports the DVD writer which is the slave on IDE2. I mentioned being patched to the latest version and was told their is no patch for this title..... Also, I can get around it simply by hitting CANCEL when asked to CANCEL, TRY AGAIN or ABORT. When I do this the game launches normally. This is not a copy, nor am I using a no-cd .exe. Only a minor annoyance as it seems to work just fine when I hit CANCEL, but are there any thoughts as to why it occurs? Or why the cd drive does not show in DXDIAG despite being listed at startup and in my device manager? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00ki3 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 This is quite common and caused normally by a conflict between the two cd drives. None of your drives are dedicated readers, so maybe that causes a conflicts between the two as to which drive should be the primary reading drive. Make sure the setup is correct.

StormHammer Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I have my CD-RW and DVD-ROM drives both set as slaves, with my two hard disks as Masters. You could try changing to that configuration if it's creating a real problem (just swap cables and change the current master drive to slave using the jumpers). Having said that...I recently installed WinXP and have been transferring my games over by just reinstalling over them. When I went to run JA the first time after this, it came up with the 'Insert Disc 1' message. Because I'd heard others had problems with this, I almost panicked, but after clicking the OK button, it accepted it, and hasn't displayed that message again.

Andy867 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Use the DVD-ROM drive, since some games have trouble being read off certain CD burners. Also, there is a patch now out for Academy (V1.01) that you can get at lucasfiles.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
