well if you have the "real game" the following thing helps
u need two progamms:
the 1st is called "daemon tools" it's able to emulate up to 5 cd-roms include softwareprotections and it's free [img]smile.gif[/img]
the 2nd is a program u have to pay for

- but there are also demos avaible - maybe they fit u needs ...
it's a program to generate an 1:1 image of u cd on hdd - blindwrite,clonecd e.g i don't know if cdrwin works also - no nero, easy cd creator winoncd doesn't work!
this should help i use it for all my games ... u have to know my cd-drive is a noisy one ...
