ok, since I no longer have my game disks I'm just gonna make copies of the disks. and do it that way.

 

What was your issue, and why is making back-up CDs a revelation to you?

 

my issue was the fact I couldn't find my disks, I had the data from them but not in a playable format, only by installing from the disk could I read the data.

 

Aaah, I see.

I had an issue like this with Creatures once, so I ended up using a pirated CD-Image. It's technically okay since I owned the game.

 

yea, Imagine if I actually found my game disks that th would be ruined anyways.

 

quick update: ok I solved my issue through DAEMON TOOLS. So all is good now. XD
