Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools
Double click the fm2006 exe on the desktop and play the game!

This doesn't work for me...

After about 10 seconds I get a Windows error for FM.exe ...

Any other solutions?

PS: with my original CD in works just fine.

I tried changing to Windows 2000 instead of NT and I get the following error: Please eject and re-insert the cd-rom, select ok and restart application...

If I put the original CD it works fine...if not well you know the answer, it doesn't work at all.

I have the image made with Alchohol 120% and mounted on Daemon tool 347...

Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools
Double click the fm2006 exe on the desktop and play the game!

I still get - Please insert correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application

?? Followed all of above!........original works fine!

Anyone know how to play the game without cd on a Windows 2000 please?

I figured it out finally...

On my PC I got it to work like this: (Anti-Blaxx or what Sweesh said didn't work for me)...

1. Make sure the compatibility is set to Windows 2000.
2. Get Daemon Tools 3.47 and mount your FM2006 image.
3. Get Vitrual CD HIDE 1.0.04 and launch it (hide all virtual drives).
4. Run the game.
5. Enjoy

I used mini image to play FM2005(5.05)
At that time i updated the D-tools.
And i also have the latest Alcohol 120%.
i heard many people uses antiblax to play this game?
i haven't heard of it. Is it better than D-tools or Alcohol?
Or just because it hasn't on the blacklist of those games giants?

Ok chaps advice needed. I got FM2006 working without my cd by doing this:

Install the game
Go into the game folder (where you installed he game e.g D:Program FilesSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2006) and find the file fm.exe
Right click fm.exe and choose properties
Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools

HOWEVER i quit the game and came back later to continue playing but it will no longer let me run the game. I double-click and it drives for a bit then nothing, no error message no nothing. I tried unmounting and remounting, i've even ran the repair but so far zippo.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried the method I posted earlier? If not heres a quick summary:

Make sure your image is .mdf format, from Alcohol 120%
Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!
Install and run AntiBlaxx. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and click on Settings.
Click the button next to Deamon Tools in the popup window and browse to the .exe file.
In the "Protection" box select "SecuROM 5"
Click the button next to the "Game" field and browse to the fm.exe file wherever you installed the game.
Tick the box that says "Mount Image", make sure that the circular box next to Daemon Tools to the right of this is selected, then click the button next to the Image box and browse to the mds file. Finally make sure device is set to Device 0 (assuming you didn't ceate additional virtual drives in Daemon Tools)

When all this is done, make sure Daemon Tools IS NOT RUNNING and right click the anti-blaxx icon, go up to Run Game and select the only one in there (default name is simply Gamename).

Now it will seem like nothing is happening. Double click the FM2006 shortcut on your desktop and an error box apppears saying the game is already running. Click the button to close that error message and wait a moment, the game will load. After that you should be able to run it from antiblaxx everytime you want to play.

damn, are you not able to read? Use SafeDisc 4 Hider, MINI Images are not possible any longer since Safedisc 4.6 does not store the bad sectors in the first 3megs of the image.
