This error is the game's CD-validation failing: the launcher cannot find the expected retail disc. 's note that the disc shows a volume/tag like "$HiTZ" is a common sign of a pirated release; 's prompt to confirm the correct disc is the right first diagnostic. 's suggestion to use a "crack" is a typical forum response from the era, but it is not recommended here due to legality and security risks.

A practical troubleshooting sequence (try in order):

  1. Inspect the disc in Windows Explorer: open the optical drive, view the folder structure and the drive Properties to check the volume label. A legitimate retail disc usually has obvious install files and publisher folders.
  2. Verify readability: copy a few small files from the disc to the desktop. Read errors or failure to copy point to a scratched/failed disc.
  3. Try a different optical drive or an external USB drive—older copy-protection checks can behave differently across drives.
  4. Remove or disable virtual-drive software (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, etc.); such emulators often interfere with older CD checks.
  5. If the disc is readable and genuine, run the game executable with elevated privileges, enable Windows compatibility mode for the OS the game targeted, and install any official patches from the publisher/support site.

If the disc is branded with warez tags (like "$HiTZ"), the safe, reliable remedies are to use a legitimate retail copy or a supported digital re-release. Avoid using cracked executables or unofficial "fixes"—they frequently bring malware, break updates, and prevent support. When an original, readable disc still fails after the above steps, replacing the disc or using a different physical drive is usually the only practical fix for this age-old CD-check problem.

This sounds like a copied version,it might have a crack file on the disk.
Explore the disk in my computer, if there is a crack file right click and copy it,go back to the game installation (where its installed) look for a crack file then click it, in a space near it right click and paste, it should ask: do you wish to replace the file, say yes. Game should now run.
