Hello all,

I have a PC Game that I got my son for baseball. I've tried backing it up to a new CD since the original he's scratched up pretty bad. When I do a disc to disc copy using Sonic it gets all the files but when I insert my new cd into my system it states "This program cannot run without original CD in the Drive" Any ideas....thanks for the help.

You need a program like Alcohol 120% Create an image of the Game on your PC and then burn it using Alcohol....

Hello again. Well i tried using Alcohol 120 and used it to create an image and then used it to burn the image but I get the same result. As soon as I try to use it I get the error about using the original CD. Any other suggestions? Thanks

You should find out what protection the game is using first. Use this
http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/CD-DVD-Rip-Other-Tools/...
After you find the protetion using alcohol rip off the disk using the correct protection. Then burn to a disk using the correct protection. If that doesnt work then I would rip the image to the hard drive. Download Daemon Tools and then mount the image. Then you can put the disk away so it wont be further scrathed and just play off the ripped image. No disk is no longer needed. You could also burn the image onto a disk as a data disk and then mount the image using deamon right off the CD-R if you dont want to keep it on your hardrive. I myself have probably 16 games ripped to my hard drive and just mount which ever game I want to play. That way I can just store all my disk. Some protections need other 3rd party programs depending on what version they are. I hope this helps.

See if you can find aray scanner. It will tell you what protection is on the disc. If you can't find it I have it somewhere.
