Daemon Tools Pro Advanced with the latest SPTD and the mini-image mounted in the vIDE drive are working fine, with no need to remove the power cables.
As a side note, if you choose to activate the game, you will have a limited number of activations(three). After those three are used is bye-bye game. Meaning contact Ubi, having a lot of fun with their support and such. But for a brief period of time you didn't need the DVD in drive.
In cases like this I rather use my DVD...
