UL.I.SI,

If you have Linux, or have a friend with Linux, use 'xcdroast' to do the job. All BG2-SoA CDs will be fully useable: you can run from them and install from them. The ToB CD seems to have either a flaw or a copy protection scheme, as I can run from the copy but not install from it. Oh well, it's not such a hardship ... I don't reinstall that often.

What app did you use to burn the CD's? I have been unable with Adaptec or HotBurn.

Thanks,

I used Nero Buring Rom.

I hate it, would normaly use something more sophisticated, but BG2 disc are practicaly unprotected and BlindSuite went out of its evaluation period just before I made the burn.

ToB CDs _are_ protected - by laserlock - which can be bypassed, but can give trouble if making second generation copies (not that theres any legal reason to do that anyway)

The trouble might be that your using the default settings - try turning on things like ignore illegal ToC and stuff. www.gamecopyworld.com has information on how to copy cds.

There are no protection schemes that can keep a disc secure if you determined enough.

Page 256 of the user manual states you can get replacement software at the address listed on page 257 and five bucks

Or you can call 949.553.6678. Don’t know if the number is still good or not. Good luck.
