CD-ROM Problem w/ Diablo II

[TheDirtyBastard]

Hi guys,

I'm running into some CD-ROM problems with Daiblo II. I've just installed Diablo II on my system, and the install was flawless. However, whenever I try to run the game, I encounter the following error:

"Diablo II was unable to detect a Disc in your CD-ROM drive. Please make sure your Diablo II Play Disc is in your CD-ROM drive, then click on 'Retry'."

I can click on Retry till my fingers bleed, but I still get the same error message. I've verified, repeatedly, that the Play Disc is in fact in my CD-ROM drive. Now, here's some info about my computer that may help you to determine the problem.

I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. I've got two CD-ROM drives: a Plextor 40x Max and a Plextor 8/20 Burner, both on an Adaptec 2930C SCSI card. The burner is on a lower SCSI ID than the reader. I've tried placing the disc in both drives, but that produces the same results (the error above) each time.

I've tried contacting Blizzard tech support, but their phones are always busy and they didn't answer my e-mail. (Shmucks...) Any ideas as to how to fix the problem? Thanks in advance!

I'm using a plextor 40x max,Plextor12x CD-rw, and toshiba dvd-rom to but i have no problems (I use the plex 40x). Weird

I get this sometimes if I've put another disc in the drive for something else and then switch back to the D2 disc it doesn't realize that I've switched back. I go into my computer and 'refresh' and it now recognizes that D2 is in the drive and works correctly.

Hmm...still a no go. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

had the same problem with my pioneer DVD 40X/10X.
I had to install my Lite On 40X in order to install Diablo II

If reinstalling it under a different cd romd rive does not work., try using one of the new patches for diablo 2. I think they may have fixed it in the new patch 1.02

Hmm odd, the game works through either my 10x40pioneer or my plext 8/20 burner. Course it crashes after a while using the pioneer because it can't read the music %#@ file anymore. Make sure you don't have a virtual cd program installed, those throw games off.

If 1.02 doesn't fix it then try doing a web search for the no cd crack. Alot of other people have been using it by the sounds of things.

Also check out: http://www.diabloii.net they put up some answers to common tech problems today.

Here's the link for 1.02 since you can't get it through battle.net obviously: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2/patches/D2Patch_102.exe
(I know that says http://ftp but that's how it is on Blizzard's site)

Straight from the Diablo 2 manual:

Q: I'm trying to run Diablo 2 under Windows 2000, but it won't recognize my CD

A: In Windows 2000, you must be logged in s a user with Administration privileges on your local machine in order for the game to properly install and play.

Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.

First, sorry for bringing up a REALLY old thread but as you may know Diablo 3 will be released really soon (early 2012), and I cant wait for it. I decided to play Diablo 2 while waiting for the next game.

Unfortunatelly I was not able to install the game because my new computer does not recognize the CD.

Does anyone have a solution for me?

I googled all around the web and found this thread. Thats why I am posting here.

Any help is much appreciated..!

Also, does anyone on this forum is in the Diablo 3 beta ? (or knows a way to get a Diablo 3 beta key)

Download the images off battle.net.

Register Diablo 2 on blizzards site and you can download it from your blizzard account. As to the Beta just go to your blizzard account and go into beta preferences and add Diablo 3.

Yes, I think they have it downloadable now like the others said but I haven't tried it. Good luck.
