Any ideas how to kill the SafeDisc2 menace?

[duckers]

ADAPTEC? NO, I have been struggling with Hitman all weekend and have finally made a backup with clone cd, but it only runs from my cd writer and not my cd rom, wierd.

Any way, heres a small suggestiion if its just a personal backup your making, do a full install, use a no cd patch from gamecopyworld.com and then burn the install directory from disc CD, not forgetting to include any vital registry entries with your crack or patch file. when you need to reinstall the backup, just copy the files from CD to Hard disk and dont forget to double click the registry entries to re-enter them.

Its a stupid way to do things but hey it works for me.....
