getting X3 to work on a laptop?

[DShadow]

hi i'm over your whole forum but couldn't find a working way to get x3 to work.

Because i'm on a laptop i can't pull my IDE cables out. I have tried all sort of methods which i thook of this forum. But most of them include pulling your cables.

I haven't yet patched x3 so i have SF 3.5
but i want to patch it so if there is a way to get around the newer version please help me.

Ps. sorry if posted 2 treads i accedentically pressed enter but the thread didn't show so couldn't deleted it

any ideas?

Do you really can't unplug your drives? I have a laptop too and i can unplug it very easy...
Only unplugging will make it.

Yeah thats OK. I have a 'button' which i can press and then i can pull it out without loosing my warranty.

well maybe i can but then i have to open up my laptop and i don't want to do that.

Well is a method of getting around Starforge 3.5 (x3)
without pulling your cables
comeon 3.5 has been out for a while there has to be a way

I seriously doubt you want to put the effort into using Bushound and making a cd-rw copy . It just depends how much time you want to put into it. What IDE chipset does your mobo use (for the wpcredit method)?

ok thanks but how do i find out. What IDE chipset does my mobo uses (for the wpcredit method)?

Get this tool, it's a trial version:

Start it and go to Motherboard then choose Chipset and it should display your mobo's chipset.

What is a bushound

If you want to find out what bushound is use google. It's the first result. However we probably can't explain it to you (as I mentioned before its hard to use and novice computer user's probably can't make their own starforce cd-rw).

Starforce Copying (CD) without Emulation:

But I was just thinking about doing this, it's still kind of inconvenient because you'll need a disc in your laptop (but won't need the original anymore).
