I have burned Splinter Cell CD1 3 times now, due to it having installation problems. I used Alcohol to burn with the cue/bin files, twice in Normal CD mode, and once in SafeDisc 2 mode. I get the same error message each time I install, but the other discs are fine. Could it be the image's problem, or is it a protection problem? ClonyXXL says it's "bad sectors". The error message during installation reads:

Component: Game Files
File Group: Common Game Files
File: E:\data2.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

I burned at 20x, and I tried installing with bad sectors emulation on. I was given the choice to ignore the problem, but when I tried to play the game, it did not work with any patch that I tried(update, no-cd). I am very desperate...thanks a lot! (alcohol 1.4.0 build 103, Lite-On LTR-40125S)

I downloaded the whole image again, and now there are the same errors in other parts of the CD, so I'm wondering if it's an error due to segmented downloading.

Could be a download problem yeah.

You can use a program called CDMage to scan an image file for corruption.
I'd suggest reading the opening sticky forum messages as its all in there.
(it has a repair and reconstruct feature for bad sectors and I have had one instance where this fixed a problem, but its not guaranteed)

Use alcohol to mount the image as well, that way you can try a test installation etc before wating a cd.

Be careful: bad sectors from LBA 800 to LBA 10800 are due to the Safedisc protection, and you should not worry, should you find them.

By 'locating' the errors you will see that no file is located on that broken sectors. On this case, the error on the CAB file is due to the fact you couldn't copy the protection properly.
