Hi SUPERBIKE,
sounds like you are struggling here my friend, now, there are several ways of doing this, one is to use clonecd(not sure if your writer supports it) and the other is to load the game into your hard drive(full installation) and remember the folder it goes into , most likely EA sports. download the uk fixed exe or other uk patch from GCW and using winzip , unzip into the EA sports folder, do you know how to do this ? it should then ask you if you wish to replace the exe file to which you say yes. you can now play the game without the cd. i did it with clonecd and it works fine as its only got safedisc protection which is a doddle to copy. a good prog for earlier protections is cd copy protection detector from GCW by kwazy wabbit, once you insert the game cd in one of y our drives click on the pink smiley face which is the protection detector and it tells you how long the cd is and what kind of protection it has, theres even a clonecd auto start button which starts up clonecd if you have it installed and sets the parameters for copying safedisc etc......only prob with this is it wont do the latest protections such as securom2 or safedisc2 etc , but there are ways around that too. if you want more help m8 email me at
