CD Scratched for TFTD, need copy of data1.cab

[Jagen]

I'm a big fan of Enemy Unknown and I keep coming back to play it so I never saw fit to uninstall it from my computer, I mean at just a few megabytes why would you. But in my madness I did remove TFTD because I never really got into it and now I seriously regret it as I have a scratch on the installation CD like a miniature grand canyon, and I really want to play it. All the files on the CD are ok except for the most important one, data1.cab. I was hoping that you guys could help me out with a copy of the file or point me to where I can get it. Any help is much appreciated.

Sorry, we can't supply you with the file since it may get us in trouble with the current right-holder of the series (Take-Two).

 

I have fixed badly scratched CD's before, but it takes some time. As long as the shiny data layer isn't scratched, a disc can be repaired to run again. Look around in a local electronics store to see if they have any products which work. Failing this, you could always go to Gamer's Gate and download TFTD for $4.99. Or get the Complete Pack (EU, TFTD, Apoc, Interceptor and Enforcer) for $14.95.

It's also sometimes workth trying a different PC or just copying that file to your PC directly - different drives have different levels of success with my DVD's anyway when they get scratched.

Cool thanks guys, didn't think about copyright issues. Sorry bout that. Thanks for both replies. I'll try a couple of different drives first and see if I have any success, then I'll try those cd patches. Failing that $4.99 doesn't sound bad. I have the others already and they work fine. Will let ye know, and thanks for the links too
