Title: (Corupted File)
Post by: abyss on Sep 22, 2009, 5:07 PM
I have a problem. For years I have been trying to run my copy of The Need For Speed. There is one problem though. I'm having a problem with one of the files for the game. The install fails because Fedata/movielow/ea.tgv is corupted. I've thought about asking someone for a copy of that particular file but EA put copy protection on the disc and nothing can be removed or deleted on the disc which means I have no way of installing the game. Does anyone know a way to get around my problem like with a special dos command or something. I'm running the non SE version.

Do you want that file? I still have that NFS on my PC.

I would like it but files can't be copied and removed from the disc which really makes the problem big. If there was a way to bypass through the protection to replace the file then maybe I can run it. I want to know if I could use a dos command to bypass the file and go anyways.

You will need to rewrite the CD. First copy the CD to some drive. Then replace this file. Then write the CD.

How would I do that?

I recommend getting an ISO editor (ex: MagicISO).That way you can make a disc image from the CD, edit that image with your new file, and mount it virtually on your computer. I'm not sure it's 100% legal, but it's not too bad to just replace one file on your CD...

Hope this helps ;)
