Is it possible

Post by 888Veyron »

Hiya!, I just bought a Original Undercover DVD for PC, but my DVD-Drive started to not work for some reason.
Is it possible to install via USB? if possible, how?

How would you copy the files to USB without a working DVD drive? Seriously, think a little.

On my laptop, which can't run Undercover but can read the CD so I can just copy the files to a USB to my PC with the right specs to run undercover, is it possible?

You can't do that.. There're some things you can't extract out from the CD and into the thumbdrive, as far as I know. People at EA may not be able to produce a decent game, but they certainly aren't that stupid. ;)

You can copy the files and the game will install. But it won't play and PunkBuster will throw up errors during online play.

Why don't you try it first and then post again when something crops up? It won't help to keep asking if no one is having the same problem as you? None of us would know how to even help in the first place, because that's no longer the game's issue - it's yours. ;)

Hope you got me. :)

Won't work because registry entries will be messed up. Sounds like the only way out of this is for you to get a new DVD drive.
