Hey. I am very computer illiterate, and I have no clue how to use Alcohol.

I have a burned copy of the Sims 2 and when yuo install it, it desn't play because it doesn't have the file or whatever to play off the cd. So I was told to download a no-cd file and then mount it to Alcohol for a virtual drive.

Well I've got teh no cd file installed, and now all I gotta do is mout the file on Alcohol. If someone could give me step by step instructions or a link that tells me how to do it, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Lindsey

Note: Alcohol should be good for burning images of (almost) all protected CDs (except SecuROM 4.8x and Safedisc 2.9x)

Please note that a guide for Alcohol, complete with pictures, is located here. Use Datatype: 'Normal CD' for burning unprotected CDs and refer to the Guide posted in the main page for burning images of protected CDs:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/28487

1) Open Alcohol 120%
2) Click on 'Image Burning Wizard'
3) push 'Browse' then load the proper file(.CUE, .CCD, .ISO) file.
4) Now you should see the info of the loaded image. Push 'next'.
5) On the next screen check that your recorder is shown. Look at the 'Datatype' drop-down menu:
6) Change the 'Datatype' drop-down menu according to the protectionyou detected on the original CD (or image). In this example we set 'Playstation' since the CD is a PSX CD. You'll notice that this setting automatically changes Write Method from DAO/SAO to RAW DAO and deselects 'rectify Sub-Channel Data'. Different Datatypes will activate different settings.
6) The write speed is set accordingly to your system resources. Just avoid burning at high speed for PSX CDs (since PSX CD-ROM sucks). Click 'Start' to start burning.
7) On the next screen you are able to keep track of the burning process. Avoid using too many system resources during the burning process.
8) A popup will inform you at the ending of the burning. The Backup CD has been completed!


If your still having trouble PM me and I'll do what I can.
Good luck :)
