Tried installing off of the CDs, and at some point I would get a fail to read file failure message. After about 4 attempts like this I transffered all the files without incident to a folder on the HD. When attempting to install directly from my HD I received the same file fail to read message. Total attempts to install ~ 9; each time it occured at a different file internally in the tome files and failures occured on disc 1, 2, and 3.

Hi Lupi,

Have you tried installing the game using Safe Mode? It may help you if something is interfering with the way the installer is reading the files. http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=aall01666p
