NSR-No Install problem

Hey all, Picked up NSR taoday and wasn't really expecting to be blown away, but I'm even less impressed at this point....I get to 98% of the files transferred during install, and then the game "has a problem" transferring any more files. 46GB left on c: drive.....I tried several of the tips supplied by EA, scanddisk, defrag, a "safedisc" update, empty temp files, no joy, I've tried it several times now. I was able to install it on my older P III @ 1G rig, it installed slowly, but it finished, and ran when it was done. With no sort of messing around beforehand, just stuck in the cd, stuck 2nd one in when asked, and it worked. My System specs...I don't think it's my system, I think it's EA, but what the hell: Asus P4P800 Deluxe mobo P4 2.8 @ 3.08 Radeon 8500Pro 128 1G pc3200 Ram Turtle Beach Santa Cruz WinXP Pro SP2 Anyways, several other folks having same issue on the EA boards, and no replies from EA at all, I'm hoping some smart guy in here will shed some light. BTW, No Daemon tools, Alcohol, or Nero either. TIA, Ed

I had something like this happen on the demo, it would say it couldnt copy readme.txt cause there was already a file there or something. What happened was that there were 2 separate install routines, one to unpack the files, and another to install them, and they couldnt have the same name even though it looked like the same install program. Now I dont think the full version does it the same way, but it shows the installer is probably flaky. So before installing it again, uninstall whats there, erase the directory (check for stuff in my documents too), and try installing to a new directory or a new drive (if possible)

There is no problem with Nero and EA games. Kind of dumb of them to think that defragging might solve an install problem though. If it installed on your other PC fine then it may be that your game cdrom is marginal in a certain area and your cdrom drive is having trouble reading those files that are located in that area of the cd. Just an idea.
