Help I need a file?

I went to reinstall BGII so I could play the new add on. I discovered my first disk is damaged. Don't know how it happened but I can copy every file except for "data2.cab" This is a huge file (523MB). I want to know if someone outthere can run winzip on it and e-mail it to me? bedwine@nospam.msn.com

I don't mean to get you down but...

Someone else needed a file which was only 9mb. Some ISPs put a limit of 3.5mb on uploaded files, mine doesn't - but after one hour of uploading it his ISP would not download it. Eventually I met him online on ICQ and it still took over an hour.

I suggest you return your damaged CD to Black Isle/Interplay and they should replace it for the cost of postage - after all the majority of game price is for licensing

Are you using Windows 2000?

Yes, I am using windows 98. Why? The disk is the problem not my operating system. I can visually see the scratch on the disk. I copied the entire 6 disks to my hard drive except for this one file which stops about half way through with an error message that the cd rom can not read the disk.

Thanks anyway

Either contact Interplay for replacement disks, or take BG2 back to wherever it was you purchased it.

I checked with MSN. It seems that the largest file I can recieve is 3MB. I doubt the file can be compressed that much so I am out of luck.

Thanks for the input guys.

The file can be compressed down, but not in the way you want. I ran multiple zip on it, and the result is 187 multiple zip files, each at around 2.8 Mb.

Edit - I can't send files larger than 1 Mb, so the only way to transfer would be through ICQ. But I don't think you want to wait for the file through ICQ, because that would take a really long time.
