I just bought Far Cry and I made a backup image on my computer using Alcohol 120% so I don't scratch the original up like I always do. But when I try to mount it using Daemon tools or Alcohol120% I always get the message "insert correct dvd rom". I'm assuming it has something to do with the safedisc thing. But I was reading earlier that you can change the name of the drive in the registry and that won't happen. I have cut and pasted what the person said but I need someone to walk me through how you actually do this. Or at least describe what exactly this person is renaming, I know how to find everything he's talking about but not exactly sure what I'm renaming.

okay you can by pass this by removing the following from the registery... dont worry every time you reboot it gets rebuilt.
what I would do is rename it just incase
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi]
if you rename this then all D-Tools Scsi drives are no longer being flagged by the copy protection.
I have verified with some of the new games that have this protection.
just remeber that the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\
gets rebuilt on a reboot so it will need to be renamed every time..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi]
also you could do it on any of the d-tools SCSI ports
example
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 0\Scsi Bus 0]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 1\Scsi Bus 0]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 2\Scsi Bus 0]
just remove the one that corresonds to the device that you mounted.
