How can I backup Pariah
 

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

I allready made an image *.bin
but it still won't work
when i try to burn with alcohol120 i get reading errors after it burned 43%

@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!!

Grumpy says it all.
