wow installer
first of all, i know this isnt the best place for help, but i thought i would give it a shot here. ive tried contacting blizzard and go to their forums, but to come up empty handed. so far i will keep this up to date incase other people have this problem and this might help others.
throughout you will see different screenshots from downloading vanilla > bc> wotlk. there in no order. specs: Quote:

I'm not sure, I assume you tried ejecting the CD seeing if theres any dirt or scratches and putting it back in?
|

Hmmm... I just used the download installer last week with no problems (other than the almost 24 hours it took to dl the program and patches). It's definitely wierd for it to be looking for a cd when it's in download mode. Wish I could help.
|
i started getting alot more errors.
liek tomb could be read ect ect. i think my hdd is going out ]: I HAVE A RAID TONIGHT NOOOOO |
this is frustrating as f**k
|
You said you just formatted... I realize you aren't using the CD, but be sure you have updated the firmware to your CD/DVD player. I cannot say for certain that this is the issue, but it's part of the troubleshooting process to eliminate all other possibilities.
|
I'm assuming you've searched the tech support forums on blizzard? Called their tech support phone?
Also, before reformatting, best off to just copy your wow folder off to an external hard drive or somesuch - then to reinstall, just copy it back ;) |
updated everything, ran hdd test. ect ect..
i get at least 16 different errors each time, i just didnt screenshot them. deleting temp files ect ect. contated tech support, checked forums and even posted there. |
i did some really hard thinking and remembered this happened to me with BC.
it was my ram, i guess when i oc'd it and reset it to default i messed something up. happy as can be its almost done [: (ugh usually at this time its always slowwww) |
:banana::banana: w00t, glad yer almost there!! :banana::banana:
|
again, my files got corrupted.
so im guessing its my RAM and hdd. same problems came up ]: |
It might not be your machine - there has recently been a known issue with the downloaded EU installer - you can find more details on the EU Teach Support Forums: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread....79797981&sid=1

ill read that too, but as you can see, im going to have to replace my ram ]:
*also ran memtestx86 and over 20k errors. bye bye 6 gigs of ram /: idk why i said 12 :P i mean 6 |
I would test each stick individually ... you may be able to salvage some and just replace a few sticks.
Also once you get WoW installed burn the WoW folder to a DVD. This way when you want to re-install WoW all you need to do is copy the CD to your HDD. There is no need to actually "install" WoW. WoW will run just fine doing this. Good luck. Is there anyone that you know that has WoW that lives near you that would allow you to burn their WoW folder?? Be a heck of alot faster than downloading 7.5 gb of data from Blizzard. |
I agree. Test each stick individually.
When I was having Error 134's, that's how I tested mine. Luckily I only had to replace one stick. It's a pain in the ass to run a 6 to 8 hour test (or until you hit errors) for each stick, but well worth the time. Quote:
mankeluvsit, Before you get ready to install the game again, be sure to prepare your system..... defrag, reboot, run chkdsk (from command prompt chkdsk C:/r ) if you haven't already. |
How many sticks of RAM do you have? They could be paired/slotted incorrectly if there's more than 1.
