It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.
Ok. Now this problem is one I have been trying to fix, unsuccussfully, for about a week now. My piece-of-s**t computer has two 40gig drives, one which I keep nice and orderly, never downloading any small games or aim plugins on, and the other one can be described in two words
utter chaos.
Now. I reformatted my GOOD drive (compared to its companion, at least) about month and a half ago. I had Starcraft, and its expansion, Brood War on my good drive. When I reformatted I lost my game and its expansion, so when I went to reinstall them I realized I had lost their CD key. I was pretty dissappointed that I wouldn't get to play the game anytime in the near future but I eventually let it go. Now I haven't visited my second drive in quite awhile, this being the chaotic P.O.S drive so one day, out of pure boredom, I decide to go there. When it boots up I am startled to see Starcraft and Brood War Icons on my desktop! I immediatly go get their CD's (which I had kept) and try the original version first. The CD is too scratched to work. With a small amount of hope left I insert the Brood War CD. It works! I go to launch the online play but it wont connect to the internet. I figure my internets down so I shut off my machine and me and my brother powercycly the router. Still no luck. So I try the internet out on my good drive to find out it works perfectly. Slightly perplexed, I boot off of my second drive again and the internet still wont work. I have reached the conclusion that I have to reinstall my second drive. But heres the problem. If I reinstall then that means I have to install Starcraft and Brood War again. First of all I dont have their CD keys, but more importantly, my CD for Starcraft is broken. If I leave it how it is I lose the joy of online play. I cant seem to figure out how to get the internet working either. I apreciate whoever took the time to read this horrendously long question and any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
