I keep getting this message after i put the second CD in "Error 1305.Error reading from file D:\setup\data\iw_03.iwd.Please tell me how to fix this. I need to get my CoD2 fix lol. Any help greatly appreciated.

RUn the registery tool...I was worried about it at first but after doing it so many times on so many computers with nothing but good results I now recomend it to anyone...

Or you could reformat...you might have to do this in the end though regardless...If ccleaner doesnt work I have a few other tricks...

I'm pretty sure there's a fix on the support site. The issue sounds familier.

Yeah sorry should have looked at the error msg. closer ccleaner will not fix this issue (although it is still a good program )

According to MS these are the causes

This issue may occur if one of the following conditions are true:
•There is a configuration issue with the CD-ROM drive.
•The MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) is damaged or is not installed properly.
•There is an issue with the CD-ROM media. For example, the program CD-ROM is damaged or dirty.

If you look at your error message, you'll notice that the computer is having a problem reading the CD.

Therefore you need to start there.

The most common cause of CD read errors is either a scratched or dirty CD. Start there. Examine the CD. Look for any smudges (greasy finger marks are a common cause). You want to use rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. Use circular motions to clean it (not up and down). To get the best read, the CD must be completely transparent (see your own reflection like a mirror). Rub gently but be firm.

If its slightly scratched, you need to buy a CD repair kit. (About $20). Make sure you get the type that Spins the CD. Its a good investment, Ive saved lots of CDs this way from becoming coasters. The repair kit will apply a new finish to the CD, which will allow the laser to read it.

If its heavily scratched, you have no choice but to ask Activision for a
replacement.

Tell me if this helps.
