    'No Disc Inserted' Fix ..

    To run a certain disc I always need to have it inserted (for it to operate)
    I want to fix it so that I can permanently open it whenever without physically
    having to put the CD in every single time ..

    Anyone know? I believe I can either use PowerISO or Alcohol (Have both)
    Thanks

    Yep it is, and I only have 1 DVD/CD drive so wanted to create my own permanent image.

    I tried the sites crack and because of a new update the game doesnt work properly if you use it, since I have the legit game myself I figured I'd be better off doing it myself just not sure how to do it for a game.

    You can in many cases get a "no/cd" crack, which is a different executable file you put into the program's directory replacing the original .exe file. In some cases you also have to transfer some files from the cd to the hard drive.
    Be careful at sites where you find these, they are often laiden with viruses and spyware.

    Yeah thats the one I tried but when you apply the crack it stops certain missions therefore you cant complete the game (Eg; you cant go on the computers in the cafe, you cant operate a police vehicles computer etc)

    Thats why I need to do it myself

    power iso should work. i've used that to copy files from torrented games to a virtual disc and it always works fine. i think open poweriso, copy the files into it, and then "burn" it to the virtual disc it creates. it just makes a folder on your hard drive that is basically the cd, and should run fine on it.

    what game btw

    T own is correct you should be able to create a cd that will run. Have you tried deamon tools?
