I seached the forum and couldnt find this question anywhere, so I hope that was becasue it dont exist yet ^^.
I try to install Mafia game (3 cd's) using the mounting option in Alchohol 120%.
Its the first time I try using this program and the 1st cd is np. I mount it and get the Mafia installer. When it asks for the second cd I unmount, mount second and it keeps asking for the cd.
When I enter the mycomputer screen I see, after waiting for a loooong time, that the virtual drive is empty.
First I tought I downloaded a bad cd#2..... but when I checked with Isobuster it immeadiately recognizes the image as Mafia Cd #2, even displayting the correct cd icon.
Then I tried to mount this with Daemons mounting utility, same prob.....
Since I am quite new to mounting etc.... I figure maybe someone here can give me a hint about what is going on..... I dont think the image is corrupted or bad, since Isobuster can extract it with np as well.
This problem is only with the 2nd image (out of three)
You can check for errors/corruption using CDMage. First open the image, goto Actions and select Scan for errors. Keep in mind though that anything more severe than a "minor" error is not to trusted to be corrected perfectly (also, make a backup before you do any type of correction too)

CDMage is an extremely poweful (and free) utility that allows for all sorts of manipulation with almost any type of CD Image. With CDMage, you can scan a BIN/CUE for errors and corruption, fix any corruption found (remember to make a backup first!) as well as extracting data from CD Images and creating CUE files from BIN files. You can download CDMage from http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/frames.html
Your reply is much appreciated.
CdMage turns not responding when I trie to lkoad the disk.
When I open the 3 disks in Alcohol # 1-3 are .Cue and the other just says IMG. The IMG disk is the one that is not being recognised when I mount it for installation.
Its funny coz, Isobust can see the image and displays it correct, but Alchohol cant seem to mount it properly.....I think its because the disk is secured, hehe but then again, I am so noobish with this.... :(
Thnx anyway, maybe I will figure out what to do next ^^
IMG can be a wierd format to work with.... grab a copy of WinISO and convert it to a more standard BIN/CUE or ISO format.

WinISO is a common program to extract CD information into a ISO (also known as ISO 9660 format). The ISO format, as the name designates is an internationally known format and can be used in any burning application that supports image burner (although this is no longer really a major issue as most burning programs support multiple types of image formats, notably the BIN/CUE format). A nifty feature about WinISO is its ability to allow you to convert various image formats to either BIN/CUE or ISO. This is very useful when you may come across a CDI file or NRG file and forget (or dont have) what program is associated with it. To find out more about WinISO visit http://www.winiso.com/
