How did you burn it? Did you use CDClone or some other like that? If you're using Nero, that could be the problem. For burning games I'd recommend using CD Clone.
I followed those exact steps, but D2 won't load unless there is some CD in the drive. Even a blank CD will make it work, but it gives me an error box if the drive is empty.
What do you mean? kockblocker is claiming that by following his steps, D2 should run with no CD in the CD drive, and I am telling him that I followed his steps and they don't yield the result he says they should.
i use the no cd crack as do my friends. i set it up for all of us and it works fine i just copied the listed files and i have never had to have a disk in at all. maybe you should try to find a different copy of the d2 loader maybe it became corrupted or something.
what does the error box that you get say?
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.

Do you have bit torrent? If so download a program called Alcohol 120%. This program creates vitrual drives in which you can mount cd images (iso, bin, cue, etc.) You can create an image of your Diablo II disk and mount it to a virtual drive on you PC (my d2 image is mounted in T: drive). You will still need d2 loader though. Try it and let us know what happens. This setup works perfect in my PC.
I'll work on this in a little bit, I believe you gotta go into your registry and change DiabloIICD in Software > Blizzard > DiabloII .. It should be pointed to your CD Drive, but you'd probably watn to change it to your Diablo folder so it doesn't try and read D: on load.
I have problems with D2Loader also.. It will load my D2 in windowed mode, and it comes up, but the second I click the screen (to get out of title screen & access menu) my game crashes. It also crashes if i use -skiptobnet command
so basically i cant open my game unless I use my original cd without d2loader...
