How to make a backup copy of a WC3 CD

[Acanthus]

Hi guys, because of the legal issues of posting this information i ask that you only use PMs to reply to me. The standard YGPM to bump the thread or whatever is fine.

I have the cases to both CDs but one CD is missing, and my brother is coming out from out of town and we usually play together. I have tried to make a copy using nero 6.0 with no luck, it just takes a really long time to read, then errors out about 25% of the way through the burn.

Edit: No CD cracks wont work as we want to play on battlenet.

i can PM images of the CD cases to anyone if needed, of course the keys will be blacked out.

It's not as though the mods can't see PMs too, you know.

I dont care about the mods seeing my pms, i care about every tool on the internet seeing a way to get around the cd copy protection... I have a legitimate need for it... 99.9% of you dont.

Fair enough. Can you start up the game on one computer, pull out the CD and stick it in the other computer and load the game on it too? Or does the game require the CD during gameplay as well?

If you're having trouble burning..just back it up as an ISO on the hard drive and run it w/Daemon-Tools

If you lost it, buy another copy.

Anything to get around that is breaking the law, are you a liberal?

I paid $60 for each copy of this game on release... It is not stealing to make another copy of a game i already own.... and dont even drag politics into this thread tool.

It requires the CD during gameplay.

BTW, how'd you do it? I wouldnt mind backing up mine. I can PM a pic of it if you need as well.
Having kids in the house, it behooves me to back up just about everything I have on a CD

Alcohol 120% and cloneCD are no longer produced, due to new laws.

It requires the CD during gameplay.

It doesnt require it after the first load, trust me, I've taken it out after connecting to bnet and it works just fine. Just turn off music.
