Allways, Allways, take an Image backup of the working partition BEFORE adding
a new game or large program.

Thats how I sleep with good dreams.

@Dark Leftos
Well I for one truly hope your dream doesnt come true!

@PackRich
Yes I would be lost without my ghost images. Since I for one had major problems with the Starforce Protection, I always create a ghost image before installing a new game. Luckily I had ghost images from before my system ever came in contact with a Starforce game! After installing a starforce game i found a lot of my games would not even autoplay, my drives where reading the disc names after the disc had been ejected, I had programs no longer working properly, I had CD's/DVD's which would not eject, I had all sorts of problems!!
But as soon as I ghosted back to before Starforce all my problems magically disappeared!
Regardless I how much any future games get hyped up I will not be installing them if they have the Starforce virus!

I don't think it will be protected by starforce. Take Two Interactive generally uses Secure Rom protection on their games

As seen above, if the post is true, San Andreas is supplied with StarForce 3.4.90.666...

Although noticing the 666 revision number, I'd bet is a hoax.

I am pretty sure it will not be Starforce protected as Take2 still has an agreement to use SecuROM... So my bet is on SecuROM v7 and maybe with some custom checks like GTA3 had...

And if it is Starforce I will pick up the xbox version instead... Never support Starforce...

This is a tough one, as much as I dislike the Starforce method, I really really want to buy the PC version of GTA: SA !
