Make a folder on Hardrive and name it: FARCRY_1 (This will be the name of the DVD)
Starting from CD5 then CD4, CD3, CD2 and lastly CD1 copy all folders and files
to this newly created FARCRY_1 folder. This will leave the correct ‘Autorun.inf’ untouched.
Overwrite anything else that doubles up.
Download the program ‘ORCA.MSI’
Go to the ‘Far Cry.msi’ file and right click it and go to ‘Properties’ and untick the ‘Read Only’ attribute.
Then click OK.
Right click the ‘Far Cry.msi’ again and from the menu choose ‘Edit with Orca’
When opened you will see 2 window panes, go to the ‘Tables’ one on the left and scroll down to ‘Media’
Click on ‘Media’ this will show you the entries in the Right pane. There will be 6 columns.
Change all the entries in the ‘VolumeLabel’ column to FARCRY_1
Then ‘Save’ it.
Create another folder for the Updates, Serial, Patches and or Cracks etc. Name this folder whatever you want.
Now burn to a DVD using the Label FARCRY_1.

I know this is a very old post but i just found my original box
with my game and when i try to copy first disc there is errors
but i only tried on my main pc which i will be redoing soon
(registry so screwed from all the testing i do)
anyhow any chance u can tell me which program is best to copy
first disc as it is the main problem
i wanna put all discs to a dvd
i did manage to copy the first disc once before like last year
but when i followed what stated here i had error installing it
would stop at almost the end with error
any help would be appreciated
i trying to backup all my games that r on cd to my system but farcry is the only one i always had a problem with

i hope all this makes sense i am running on empty without sleep for almost 3 days between work on customers pcs and trying
to back stuff up from both my pcs and laptop at same time
as i am doing a major upgrade for everything very soon
thanx in advance

If the disc is physically damaged, you can try the "toothpaste method" (search for it). If it's copy protected then the point will be that you wouldn't be able to make a backup of it even if it was physically intact. So, you should rather make a copy, if you can, with a simple CD/DVD copier program and then you can install from the backup and use a crack (not the physical one on the disc! ) to play the game.

thanx for the response the cds r in perfect brand new condition
when ever i buy my games they always go back in the case or box
i have a vast collection since like forever lol
i just got a new quad core laptop so i gonna try see if i can back it up on there
once i finish setting it up the way i like it
any program u suggest that is best for game that old
as i know it has protection

For imaging amd/or copying protected CD's/DVD's, you can try CloneCD for older games but Alcohol 120% is the best for older as well as the newest games.
