A NoCD means just that, so no emulation should be required and the back-up is only needed for installing.
What's the game and why can't he get the NoCD for himself? Just give him the link to G.C.W......unless!!!! Now I'm getting too suspicious.

I have just tried installing a no cd patch for Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe. I am off to Iraq soon, and in my spare time hope to play this awesome game, but I don't want to take my original disc as it may get scratched and ruined. Do I need a backup copy of the original disc to play the game, as I was under the illusion I wouldn't need a disk at all and it would play directly from the hard drive.

By the way, I should probably say hello to everyone, I hope to meet some interesting people on the forums, and yes, I am crap with computers!!!

So what are you going to play it on?
Assuming your taking a notebook, does this mean you won't be taking any disks?
What if you have a problem with windows and have to do a repair or God forbid a re-install?

By making a backup, you will be able to re-install it should you need to and still have the original safe.
The NoCD patch means just that, you won't need to have a CD in the drive to RUN the game.
