next whdload question "NDOS"?
« on: February 21, 2009, 08:47:30 PM »
im trying to install some games that are NDOS but whdload is having problems saying the disk has a checksum error. i vaguely remember being able to "fix" these rubbish bootblocks with xcopy but its been 10 years or so and im a bit rusty,
any help appreciated
thanks  :-?

This is not really a WHDLoad issue. It's just telling you that the disk is corrupted in some way. Copying from one disk to another with xcopy might be able to rescue it, but if the disk is severely damaged or the game is copy protected then you might be stuffed.

In that case, you might as well file away (or bin) your disk and look for an already-installed WHDLoad version of the game which you can just extract on to your hard drive and run (with no disk required).

Officially, you don't because they are illegal and this site does not allow the link to be posted. But PM me your email address and I will tell you off-site.
