    you could TRY making an image of the disc(s) using something like nero, then use Daemon Tools to virtually mount the image

    Generally you can NOT just Copy a Game to a CD or DVD and Expect it to work like the Original, especially with Newer Games...In most cases with Copied Games you will need a "No-CD/DVD Patch" to get them to Work...

    Cheers

    Well not exactly. The problem most of the time is getting the image back onto disc so that it works. Generally it is possible to create a working image. Using no CD's would definatly be another way. Problem with noCD's though is that you need a new one each time the game is updated.

    Indeed. Keep that in mind that you'll have to look for every one of them if you plan to use the upgrades and patches....
