:cry: I downloaded and unzipped Crescent Hawk's Revenge and copied the files onto a CD. I have a Toshiba Tecra 700CT laptop with DOS 6.2 installed as the only operating system. When I put the burned CD in I get this error message:
CDR101: Not ready reading drive D
Abort, Retry, Fail?

I checked the drive with another DOS CD and it's working fine. So I burned a second CD and the same thing happened. Does it need a special volume number? Are the CD's available now for burning not compatible with older technology? There was no ISO file, just a long list of files including a setup.exe and .bat file.
Any ideas? I own the game on 5 1/4 floppies, but one of the files is corrupt. I got this laptop and set it up mostly to play this game. Help!

well, tell me something quickly, what kind of disk are you burning to? a CD-R or a CD-RW because i know of quite a few cd drives that are incapable of reading from a CD-RW.

Also make sure you're using a proper session burning app like Nero. Packet-writing software like InCD or DirectCD (where you just treat the CD as a floppy disk) won't produce CDs you can read in DOS.

Won't work. The game saves everything in savegame.dat in its directory. Otherwise it won't work. Ergo, you must have it on your HDD. This game takes, what, 2 or 3 MB, so it won't be any problem. Best put it in the root of your HDD under a dirname like "Revenge" or any other with 8 or less chars.

Remember to run it under DOS or DOSBOX.
