Before step 1: Switch off your PC (very important!)
Step 1. Open your PC case
Step 2. Unplug the power or IDE cable(s) from all your optical IDE drives.
Step 3. Close your PC case
After step 3: Swith your PC back on

And don't unplug the power of your harddisks but this has to be sure by writing to unplug the optical drives like Underheaven it wrote.

shutdown your pc, unplug your drives, start up your pc, moun the image with DT 4.03, start the game.
Make sure you got a god image with a good dpm, which is required for playing Starforce Games from an image.

Got it!!

The Star F. is no prob anymore there are tricks like unplug all optical drives or use SF Nightmare these all suxxx. Ive used Switches to turn on or off my CD-Rom drives and with Deamon Tools 4.0.3 The SF works great

Ive interrupted the connections with a switch that can handle 12V - 20A (Normaly used for Car Stereo) this cost me for 4 switches 12,- (for two Drives)

Youll have to interrupt the Yellow and the Red Cable and have allots of spare parts or cable since youll have to have a Male and a Female Molex cable.

Looks cool and it is a throw on the switch.

Have Fun Valvaris )

In the German Section ther's also a thread about some kind of this switch, if somebody is interested in this, here.
