First suggestion; Try using some punctuation in your post. It is very hard to figure out what you are saying without any commas, periods and so on.

Secondly, as far as your HD is concerned, the first thing to do is to run a program like SCANDISK on it and see if there are any bad sectors on the HD. You should do the THOROUGH check to ensure a surface scan is done. This might lead to some bad parts which the game might be getting onto and resulting in a read of a WRITE PROTECTED HD. Once that is done, run DEFRAG on the HD and then attempt to install the game again. If it fails again, you might want to ensure that it's a good CD by installing the game onto a seperate computer/HD and if that works. Then you can start looking at other possibilities for your machine. Regards
