Can I still install?

[BigTin]

I recently got a new computer so i went to install civ4 on it of course. I installed vanilla perfectly and then put in bts disc 1 (i dont have warlords) and searched for disc 2. And searched... and searched. I cant find it!!!! Is there anyway to transfer over those files, as i still have my old computer with bts on it, or can someone upload those files for me? or do i just have to pray to find it or buy a new copy?

Do you have a USB Port? Prefrably 4 or 8GB?

You could always pick up Civ4 Complete for $10 from a local Wal-Mart.

Go to C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4. Find the BTS file. Should be around the third file there.

Right-click on it. Hit "Properties" and figure out the sizo of the file.

You need a 2 GB USB. It should be around $5 at WalMart, Target, or anyother store.

Once you have it copy the BTS folder onto the USB.

Take the USB to your new Comp. Move the BTS folder into the Civ4 folder. It should be installed. Go inside the BTS folder. Find the application (with the BTS logo as its thumbnail) called Civ4BeyondSword. Right-click on it, hit Send to, hit desktop. Rename the shortcut that appears BTS or whatever you want. Click on the shortcut to play.

Congrats, you know know how to reinstall.

Thanks, now I just need to convince my parents to let me buy one!

You could use 7-zip or winrar and tell it to split the BTS folder into multi-part archive..

But i'm not sure if just copying over the files will work.. Worth a try though.

It should. If not come back here and I'll try to help again.

Thank you everyone for your help! I bought a 4GB USB Key which allowed me to transfer over the files! So it works now! Mods can close this thread now as my problem is solved!
