What happens if you start from your Original CD/DVD?

the game works with the original cd...but i dont like to carry it around and recently i have given it to my friend;to make it work the disc1 has to be inside the cdrom,is there any solution to this problem or do i have to play to with the disc?

Try using the latest trial version of Alcohol to make your image. Nero isn't really suited to the task.

but other games were working with nero image..??is there any other way to get it to work using nero image or do i have to get alcohol 120?

Nero cant extract necessary data from the cd to get around with the copy protection. (you can get a trial version of Alcohol 120% at www.alcohol-software.com)

You could always wait for DTools Pro to be finished. No idea when that will be, though.

To create images you could try also Alcohol 52% Free Edition.

There is no Alcohol 52% Free Edition. It also requires a license.
Correct me if I am wrong.
