It's actually piece-of-cake. Editing 4 bytes will make the cutscenes run smoothly from hard disk, without Daemon stuff.

I have no idea what that is, and I sure don't know how to "write bytes." What should I do to resume the game?

Don't reinstall anything at all
Edit the JK_.CD file with an hex editor like XVI32 (

84 32 97 69
EXACTLY in the first 4 "boxes" replacing the 4 values present.
Obviously you first have to copy all the cutscenes stuff from both CD1 and CD2.
You can be sure it will work. The JK main executables apparently recognises this 4-byte sequence as a CD-check defeat. That's not evil, since this game is almost abandonware, and editing a 4-byte file is not cracking anything. You won't have to swap CDs with Daemon Tools or anything like that.
Just do this way and play this masterpiece.
