Cherry Blossom Viscount 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2003 True story. I bought the old Microsoft Traim Sim game awhile back and installed it both here and at my cousin's house. The game can be run without the CD. Anyway, in an effore to save PC spece I un-install the game here and forget about the one on my cousin's computer. Well, I wanted to play the game recently but somehow the first CD ended up at my OTHER cousin's house and his stupid sister threw it out. Well I found the game intact at my cousins house and burned it onto four CD's. I have everything installed except for some stuff that won't copy off of the CD and onto my computer. I get the error message, "System cannot read from specified device." Help me. What does it mean? I'm hankerin' for some train drivin' action damnit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the problem is reading the CD itself, the disc could be bad, one track could be bad, etc. The easiest way to find out is to burn it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted June 28, 2003 Try going to Gamecopyworld.com and see if there is a NO CD patch that you can install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherry Blossom Viscount 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2003 The CD isn't bad because certain files copy from the CD to my computer. I tried to archive the files on the CD and extract them, but when I tried to do that, an error message came up saying access denied. I'm guessing MS write protected those files so they can't be burned or copied. I guess I'll just burn those last few files over, but I'll archive them first. This sucks because my cousin had been planning to delete the game and he may have already done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
