I know this sounds pretty basic but.......have you run one of those cleaning discs through your drive lately? Sometimes the optics get a little dusty and won't read correctly, and double check the disc too, they can be a little "foggy" and the info doesn't get read properly. I'm assuming that "file e" is your optical drive?



Here's a little something that might help as well

Hey, Undead 1,I ran into the same problem after i bought the game Pacific Fighters.I bought the game at Bestbuy and returned the game for replacement three times with no luck.I loaded my friends game PF and it worked.Strange I agree,so he told me to perform a clean boot and it worked.The clean boot was referd in the above post try it it might just work for you.Good luck buddy.

Try a clean boot of your computer. This will start your computer with only the basic devices and services and might let you successfully install the software. To do so, click Start and Run and type msconfig in the Open field. Click OK. Under the General tab, select Selective Startup and deselect Process SYSTEM.INI file, Process WIN.INI file, and Load Startup Items. Under the Services tab, check the Hide All Microsoft Services box and click Disable All. Now click OK and restart your machine. Try the installation again. If it doesn’t work, you can restore your normal settings by running Msconfig again and selecting Normal Startup under the General tab. Now restart. If this solves the problem and you can install, you’ll still want to restart with normal settings after the installation is complete.
