Ok, I was readin thu the post and replys there, and i came up with this.
It seems like everyone was on the right track but my synaptic mis-fireings took me in the direction that u wanted to actully BACK-UP your games
Keepin in mind that you are using either GameXcopy or Alcohol.... (bc both make an EXACT copy, copy-protection and all. I prefer Xcopy but im byass
)
Now, Xcopy makes Disk Images of all your game cd's on your HD with the specific titles
When Xcpy "clones" the game it gives the disk the same disk ID which is important in multi-disk games/programs installments
Now that you have "cloned" all of the disks for a specific game, simple copy them to a DVD, not burn, bc that says that you r tryin to make a cd of the image. You jsut want to make a disk with all the "cloned" images on it for archival purposes.
Ok, with me so far, man I am maken this sound soooo much more complex than it sounds in my head
Alrighty then, another side feature of GameXcopy is that it allows u to Mount 4 Virtul Drives. I know that there r programs which allow u to have more VR mounts but I use Xcpy to do it all.
Simple insert ure archived DVD with ure Back-up "clones" , copy them to ure HD, mount them , and install
Back ups r safe, Org's r safe, games installed, and ure happy again
I hope this helps and works for u
