RA2- allied disk not recognized

I got red strike today which includes RA2 and yuri's revenge, the soviet disk seems to work fine, but the allied disk isn't even recongized by my computer, when I put it in the drive it tells me there's nothing in it, even when it prompts me to insert the disk for the allied campaign still nothing.

wondering where I can just get some help, I tried westwood's technical support that link leads me back to the main page. I was trying to find a message board on it, also The reason I bought red strike was because I had bought RA2 before but lost the allied disk, I had the soviet disk, loaded it on, and before I installed the new RA2 I got with red strike, I removed the old one with add/remove programs.

Westwood == dead, so their Tech Support site might not help much.

You legally own the game, I suggest just getting a copy of the disk (I'm sure you know the kind of places to get it from).

Your Allied disc is dead.

I'll take the game back, westwood's out of business? They still have a web site.

That doesn't mean anything. Cavedog had a website long after they ceased operation.

I think its still up in fact, which makes me wonder who the hell is paying for it.

It's probably sitting on their old parent company's server.
EDIT: Yeah, Infogrames still keeps it up and the DNS registration doesn't expire until 2006...

hmm, guess kind of like a dead star that you can still see the light from.
