    DOS/4GW 2001 error
    « on: November 29, 2018, 02:42:05 PM »
    Hello.

    I'm getting a DOS/4GW 2001 error when trying to start "Star Wars: Dark Forces" in MS-DOS.  It says 07h (device not available).  It does not happen in Windows.  No matter which drive I try to load the game on, it does this frequently, but sometimes the game runs in DOS.  Stonekeep also uses DOS/4GW, but when I attempt to run it directly in DOS, it never fails to run as long as the sound settings match the sound card.  Stonekeep's disc is in like-new condition, while Dark Forces has some mild scratches and was buffed in the past.  What could the cause be?

      If the disc has visible scratches you need to buff out the scratches.
      Look on You Tube for help on how to buff out scratches from a CD or DVD..
      Here is one.

      It was literally the 2nd thread in the forum.  Pretty shameless.
