Zilart disc reinstallation issues
I've done a search on the forum and I can't find any answer to this, so I hope someone can help me.
Basically, I've been having some computer issues and I uninstalled FFXI and RoZ from my laptop last week. I've been trying to reinstall it and am facing a number of problems. First off, I inserted the original 3 discs, but got an error on disc 3 as a .dat file had not been uninstalled. This was a harddrive problem and upon doing a chkdsk it was deleted and the install continued as normal. I installed the 3 discs and the ROZ expansion disc. Then I faced a problem when downloading the FFXI update... 3 more .dat files were not uninstalled originally and I had to do a chkdsk again and once they were deleted the download and install continued.
The problem I have currently,which is still an issue, is that the game is not registering my RoZ expansion. When I put the disc in it does not error out and continues as if the pack has been installed. When I boot up FFXI it even downloads files specific to RoZ. However when I try to log into the game it tells me that expansion data has not been installed and I cannot enter any areas which need expansion data. I went to "add/remove" programs and the file size for my RoZ isn't listed - as if it is 0. I tried reinstalling RoZ from the CD, I tried uninstalling both FFXI and RoZ and reinstalling and that didn't work either. I also ran another chkdsk and it found nothing wrong.
I should probably note, I never uninstalled COP or ToAU from the computer, however it doesn't seem to have a problem with these expansions, just RoZ. I've installed FFXI on 3 machines since I've been playing and never had an issue before.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
