dude! i tryed installing Halo PC on a laptop that has a much better graphics card then mine and it wont let me
Every time I try to install it it says "Halo Setup encountered a disk error while writing to the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\maps\sounds.map. I tried cleaning the disk and clearing off the harddrive and it still gives me this error message

Help would be apprieciated, since it means one more player on the Halo PC servers

Your CD data is either corrupted or it's your laptop. Here are some instructions, if you run XP it'll work.
1)See your Halo box? That thing with Master Chief on it next to a -blam!-load of crap? Yeah that thing!
2)Read the necessary components needed for Halo:Combat Evolved.
3) Does your laptop have enough RAM, disk space, procceser power, fit to play Halo? Aha.

Yep. I'd say it's a scratched disk, meaning it can't read the data from the disc and copy it, or it's a space issue.

Yeah, I agree. You might need a new disk.

I'd say you're screwed of 20 measely dollars if your disc is scratched.
