.ISO is an obsolete format that doesn't contain enough information to work with modern protected games, re-create the image(s) from your original CD(s) using Alcohol 120% or blindwrite 5.

First, create the CD image using Alcohol or Blindwrite

Next, launch regedit, and modify (at your own risks) the registry :
1 - Deny read access to Administrator user on the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port x
where "Scsi Port x" is the key where you can find the value "Driver"="d347prt".
For me, it's "Scsi Port 2", but it may change depending on your scsi devices.
2 - Deny read access to Administrator user on the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices

Next, play the game.

Look at this Thread http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/port...pic.php?t=5492 . Here is a tool that does the registry trick automatically.

which image???

"ISO is an obsolete format that doesn't contain enough information to work with modern protected games, re-create the image(s) from your original CD(s) using Alcohol 120% or blindwrite 5."

Alcohol gives options on what image: .iso, .ccd...etc etc

so which format should you use?

Also what Datatype should you use?

You should use Alcohol's native format of course, i.e. mds/mdf - this should be selected automatically if you select the correct profile (i.e. SecuROM new v4.x/5.x).
