FS2004 Discs damanged-What to do?

| I recently reformatted my HD. When reinstalling FS2004, It siad that the file
Sydney.CAB couldnt not be copied or it was in use or something like that. Is
there a way I can contact Microsoft to ask them to send me another copy Free
of charge? This copy of FS I have came in the metal box. I just need another
copy ASAP, and I can't blow 500 Hong Kong Dollars on another copy. As a
reviewer for AVSIM I'm running on a very tight schedule so any help will be
appreciated.
Thanks
Tim Brown

Tim,
Did you make sure that you re-installed the motherboard drivers after
formatting and re-installing Windows? Generic IDE drivers can cause
read errors, otherwise contact MS for replacement of your CD:

| Katy-
Thanks for your response. Yes, I have reinstalled other games so far,
without any problem. I will contact Microsoft ASAP. Will they pay for
shipping to Hong Kong?

I have no idea but you need to contact your local MS branch when
outside the US.

| Why can't you just hit "ignore" and continue with the install? Unless you
really need Sydney for your review?
