VDS application and stuff

My CD drive is fucked on my pc, so i made an iso of ETQW on my laptop and then tried using it on my pc, it didn't work.

Yea, it doesn't work for all of them, it depends on the type of copy-protect shit they yews on the CD. Can't you just get another internal CD drive? Or is it on a laptop? (those can actually be easy to replace too)

yeah im looking at a new drive for my pc, or i suppose i could just install it on my laptop and then copy the files + registry, that worked for COD4. But it might not work cos i have 7 on the laptop and vista on the pc.

Hmmm, ETQW shouldn't have any CD protection.

You don't need the CD to play the game. You MUST BE LOGGED IN with a valid serial number.

I need the cd to install it though!!

I might just torrent it and then yews my own cd key.

or buy it on steam.. 20 USD. Getting a new CD/DVD drive might be more effective tho :/ it's usually 30-40 USD for a good CD/DVD-RW drive.

i already bought it for about £2 or something, then i discovered that the cd drive is broken.

my mate recently rebuilt his computer in a new case and i think he's getting a new cd drive so he'll probably let me have his old one, for either free or like £5.

Just try copying the contents of the CD rather than making an ISO.

(Make sure you get hidden/system files.)

Worth a shot.

I'll probably try in a couple of weeks after my mechanics exam, I could do without another distraction.

Steam has changed my life. I have always hated game CDs. Even ISOs I consider a pain in the ass.
