General Securom new question

[Tontoman]

Ok I'v read around and it's still not clear to me.

For the new Securom, the problem is that 'If you don't have hardware being able to read & write the 16 byte PQ subchannel data -non Raw 96- ' you are toast

One way around is to burn a 1:1 copy and use Daemon tools to emulate the missing securom
-or-
To image the original onto the HD and using Daemon tools mount it to a virtual drive and install and run it from there.

My question is how does the second solution bypass the security check? Curious as I'm having trouble burning a working backup (although I have raw 96) and the virtual drive solution doesn't work for me either although it sounds like it should bypass any drive problems.

Thanks
Pete.
