 Hi, i just recieved my copy of ME2 CE and after 2h trying to install this thing, i an almost giving up and this is my last option.

the problem is while installing ME2 cd 1 i get a "Data Error" at like 15%,  but if i start reading the disk (like going to the disk and start opening the folders), the error appears on the end of cd 2, so i dont really know what to do, i tryied copying the files directly and running the game, after an hour doing it i manage to play the game but cant install any of the dlc, but then i remembered that i could register my copy of DAO and have the option to download it through EA Download Manager, after trying to put ME2 i only get that my serial key is wrong.

thx in advance.

sry for my english, as any1 can guess is not my first language.

This was never answered for somre reason, even though it is a well known problem.  (So well known that failing to access the SEARCH function is plain short-sighted.) 

This error has happened countless times .  The cause isn't known to the public, and neither Bioware nor EA has been forthcoming regarding it.  My best guess is some false tracks have been included on the disk, intended to make disk copying more difficult, and those are why some DVD drives fail.

You can swaps PCs, swap drives, borrow an external DVD drive, try to copy to folders on your hard drive, to install from there, copy across your LAN (which is what I had to do), or you can make download arrangements with the EA store, and then use your hard copy's CD Key as your code to unlock a digital copy of the game.
