Burning a Backup copy of CFS2-Disc2

[dicksite]

Hi to All

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum or place for this question, but none the less...I own both CFS2 and CFS3 and paid good money for both...now I want to make a copy of at least Disc2 of CFS2 to save wear and tear on OEM copy, but to make a long story short seemed to burn ok! but when using, it the game starts to load for 2 or 3 seconds, stops and displays an error message  something like....The wrong cd-rom was inserted or the your cd-rom might not be compateable with this cd.......What Happened

I know there is a "no cd" prog. out there but I want and should be able to make 1 copy of my own disc. so how do I do this....

Please someone help me

Thanksto all who help..

Well Dicksite,

I Dont Know What To Say Because I Have Never Tried To Burn My Disc, But Hagar Might Know, Or Stratobat Might,

P.S. I Dont Know If That Is Neccesarily An Appropiate Name For A Site Like This

Not me. I never had any success with burning CDs.

You might try some imaging software. Do a search for IsoBuster.

PS. I can't imagine why you need a backup copy if you use the No-CD patch. My CFS2 CDs are in the same pristine condition as when I first took them out of their packaging over 3 years ago.

There is some kind of anti-copying thing on the discs to prevent piracy (sensible policy).
Are you merely backing up as you are meant to have disc 2 in the CD-ROM drive all the time, and you're worried it'll get knackered? If so I can email you the No-CD crack. PM me if this is the case.

I think it's easier to use the patch

My disks are still in the box, the only time I see them is when I need to do a re-install

All I Use Is The Cd; And I Have No Problem Because I Keep It In There All The Time

Personally speaking, I think some of the connection problems I had were due to the no-cd patch. Since un-installing and running from CD,

I see no reason to Burn your CD.

An interesting thread....

I've found "Clone CD" seems to copy most things including CFS2, although the CD patch is far easier.....  ;)

I've got backups of all my valuable cd's, use the backups, keep the OEM's in the box, nice 'n ' safe.  ;)

Thanks Brandon

I surly understand James concern as I too feel we all get hurt  when illegal stuff is used and you are right that is not my reason for sure...I just feel I should be able to make one backup of my own Disc's and itis bussiness what I do them not MS or James or anyone else..

There is enough outsoursing and other coying by the 3rd world  ;D  .... they don't need my help  8)

James,

Your Kinda Crackin Down On Him, And You have no clue what hes gonna do with it if he can burn it,

Strangely enough I found this on the M$ Knowledge Base while looking for other information.

Thanks For the info hagar

now i can replace my flight sim 98 cd

Damn sisters scratched it up

[Hagar]

Hi Brandon. From what I hear you would have to pay for it. I think it would be cheaper to purchase a new copy if you can find it. I've seen FS98 bundled with CFS1 at a very reasonable price.
