:scary i cant install sc. I think its because i didnt uninstall from my other harddrive that crashed and now the cd key for sc doesnt work can someone help me please. Would someone know how too work my cd key again, It's either because the cd key might be on the other harddrive that crashed or it was never deleted from the database of the harddrive that crashed and now blizzard sees it as being used by someone else because whenever I put it the cd key in too install it, it says invalid/Starcraft, can someone please help me with this problem

I could install starcraft 6 times on my computer with the same cdkey. Installing does not even need a key that works online, you can use a cdkey generator. The only reason for the cdkey is FOR online play. All cdkeys work to install, if they are legitimate. Your keys will work to install, if they are legitimate. Blizzard cannot ban keys from installation, only from online play. I find it seriously unlikely that you're telling us the whole story.

As i said, it wasnt the key that was the problem. To bring up the install screen insert the broodwar disc, go to my computer, and double click the icon.

copy all of the files from the disc to your pc. if it still doesnt work, then your screwed. Try bittorent + alchohol 120%, or in your case, daemon tools [its more noob friendly]; if it doesnt work.

If you're lucky, you might be able to burn your copy of Brood Wars. Or go out and buy it... it's less than $10 these days. My copy of BW is scratched beyond repair and has a crack or two in it. Still works, but I don't know how many more runs it can pull off.
