First get A-Ray to find out what copy protection is used.

Then you can use Alcohol 120 or BlindWrite to back it up. The trial versions are the full versions.

A120%

BlindWrite

Then you can mount the image with Daemon Tools:

then why are you asking? You've already got the game, no need to rip it. And if it plays, there ya go.

And every game I've "bought", I've had to install it first. I've never download a game ... actually don't play too many games.

How does all this have to do with your title of this thread? "How can I rip a computer game"? That isn't even you problem or question.
