mini-image or not... if he have an original dvd he don't need a mini image or other useless stuff - think about - those guy must have a working dvd drive to install this game. whitout a installation a mini image is totally useless
if you have problems to start the game contact the developer of starforce - they will give you a rescue key to start the game without dvd - u can only use the key with the relevant hardware.
end of topic... senseless discussion - imho warez talk
