My error message when trying to run runblack.exe

My question is, is this because of the copy protection on the BW1 CD, or is it another error?  I'm trying to configure my CD drive to work with VMWare and so far I can't figure out how to make it access directly O_o  Is this why people are always asking for No-CD thingies, or is it something completely different?
 
It looks like it could be a physical problem with the drive. Can you read other CDs with it? ???

What drive letter is it suppose to be, D: ?

 
D:

And yes, other CD's work. (I installed Sim City 3000 earlier since it doesn't use much memory)

Nevermind.  I just wanted to know if it was a common problem wtih Black and White, or something else.  I guess something else XD
 
Thats such a loss. I hope you find the solution anyway you could buy a new one for like £5 from them games which are like from soldout software.
 
Actually, it's probably the computer.  I'm running XP on a virtual machine, but I didn't say anything because then everyone would be reluctant to answer :0

Just a matter of configuring it to work, I'm thinking.
 
There is one answer just use one of the "special" patches so the game no longer looks for a valid CD in the drive.
 
Actually, I considered that but I'm unsure of how reliable it would be, so I'm holding out on the idea for now. XD
 
Have you ever thought of getting a NO-CD Patch? It wouldnt even worry about detecting the CD if you had that.

Click to expand...

That was in reference to a No-CD patch

Either way, I have a new computer now.  So it's not a problem XD
