Hopkins FBI asking for CD

AtlasRapture · 07-27-2010, 04:48 AM

I got Hopkins FBI with B-Hunter today in that double pack. After reading around I got the game installed using the XP Patch.

Now when I try to run the game it says 'NOT FOUND THE HOPKINS CD' the CD is in my CD drive which is drive E. Anyway I can get round this? Im on Windows 7 also.

Could you clarify who the double-pack was released by? It may make a difference as games sometimes get updates applied in re-releases so it will indicate what version you are running.

Though everything I've heard about this game suggests it might not be worth the effort.

The double pack is made by Rocket Price its this one:

Also i've played the game along time ago and loved it.

I think some older games had trouble with multiple hard drives and assumed that the CD drive would always be D I wouldn't have thought Hopkins would be quite old enough to have that issue but it might still be worth changing the drive letter to D and see if that works. just remember to change it back after so it doesn't mess everything else up

How would I go about doing that?

in windows 7;
control panel, administrative tools, computer management
go down to storage and disk management
first you'll need to right click your D drive and change drive letter, just pick anything else that's not already in use
once that's done right click your cd/dvd drive and change drive letter to D

Have you tried the simplest thing - running the game's exe in XP compatibility mode?

Argh. I played this about 4 or 5 months back and had exactly the same problem. I did get it sorted but I cna't remember how. Gonna keep wracking my brains for you to see if I can recall what I did.

Yes I did. Made no difference.
