How to Fix a Black & White 2 Cyclic Redundancy Check Error

"Black &White 2" for the PC uses a game disk to install the game on the PC's hard disk drive. When trying to install the game to the hard disk and you see a cyclic redundancy check error, the game cannot be installed until the disk has been cleaned. PC disk drives have a hard time reading dirty discs, which is what causes a cyclic redundancy error.

Things You'll Need

Rubbing alcohol
Cotton ball

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the "Black &White 2" disk from the disk drive.

  Look for any smudges or dirt clumps on the bottom of the disk.
- 4
