how do i know if my hard disk is connected to the primay ide ?
and id the virtual hard drive thing works for you guys why it isn't working for others what do we do wrong ?
and a little question if you disable your ide drives your virtual drives that you are mounting the image are still not hidden so the star force protection will always detect the cd and thus the game won't work help pls

To check your hard disks, enter the BIOS setup or see Windows' Device Manager. As for virtual drives, as far as I remember, those are checked - along with all SCSI drives - only if at least one IDE drive is also present in the system. Also, Daemon Tools 4.x hides itself better than previous versions and there's no need to disconnect drives on motherboards with the nForce 3/4 chipset (confirmed by Daemon Tools developers).

and another question they arer some starforce games that has been cracked like hammer and sickle why splintercell chaos theory king kong and pop the two thrones are not cracked yet ? can anybody answer pls

There are several levels of protection in Starforce. If you spend few money on the copy protection, the result will be lightly protected, thus easily cracked; more money, heavy protection, a year to crack.

re
 

i don't understand by spending more money in copy protections you mean i need to buy some special stuff to crack the games ? what do i need to get to crack these games ?

No. If the publisher spends more money, a heavier version of Starforce is applied, which takes much-much more time to crack (for the crackers).

@ Kooka...
 

Yeah, asking questions brings knowledge...
But, spend some time in the forum here, so many q&a about starforce... And... For some it seems to be like a wheel of fortune if starforce backups will work...

Sometimes you´ll win, sometimes you´ll loose *g

come on guys crack star force already i think just those crackers doesnt spend enough time in it to find out how to crack it

@kooka: You're really getting on my nerves... If you're so damn smart that you think you can command professional crackers around, why don't you spend a few years with learning programming andf then the art of professional cracking and join them?! Otherwise, stop bitching and wait patiently - and in silence - for the results of their hard job...
