How can I backup Pariah

[Craig Pipe]

i wanted to backup this game so i could lend to a friend of mine, because i am still playing.
but when i tried to copy an error occured.
how can i "crack" the cd-protection?
please, help.

Well, you have two options...:

1. use a NoCD
You won't need the CD/DVD at all if you do this. For some games (like the GTAs) you'd need to have used a full installation otherwise some elements that load from the CD will be missing.

2. use your CD writing software to make a backup
Nero and others are able to make CD images which you can then mount in Daemon Tools or Alcohol 52%/120%. This in combination with a NoCD will allow you to use a minimum install but still have the entire game content.

You can also then use this image to burn a 1:1 copy. Merely copying and pasting the files and making a new CD from that won't work, but your CD writing software's copying function should.

If your CD burning software is unable to make authentic duplicates you'll need to use a NoCD with the almost-perfect disc it burned for you.

Anyway, hope that helps! :D

@Craig Pipe
What you want to do is illegal!! You can not make a copy of 'your' game for your friend! Tell your friend to go and purchase his own game!
May I suggest you read the games EULA then read these forums Rules! What you have asked is against the forum rules and you will more than likely be banned!

@Toni Cipriani
And you should also go and read the EULA and these forums rules then maybe next time you wont help someone to break the law!!
