Toca Race driver 3 won't work with images

Method using Alcohol, you may need to change speeds depending on your system hardware.

Creating an image.
Click the 'Image Making Wizard' button.
Click in the 'Data Position Measurement' box and select 'High', Next.
Choose your destination and image name then click 'Start', choose 'Maximum' for measuring speed(you may need to select a much lower speed depending on hardware) then 'OK'.

Burning image.
Click the 'Image Burning Wizard' button.
Browse to where the image is, click next.
Now click in the 'Burn "RMPS" to recordable Media' box and select max speed for writing (again you may need to slow it down depending on hardware) then click 'Start'.

I have burned 8X DVD+RW (Ricoh) at 8X and the disk worked.

My system Specs
Nforce 4 mobo
Pioneer 110 connected to IDE
Pioneer 106 connected via USB 2 caddie
Maxtor SATA II HDD
Intel Pentium 840 D
2GB 667 DDRII

I tried everything... Disabling the drives through SFN, through VDP, through the BIOS, the damn SF thingy detects my IDE drives as long as they take power. The solution was to unplug them completely, that's the only thing that worked. My MoBo has an Intel chipset, so I guess that all Intel users will have to wait for a crack or unplug their drives... Grrrr!

I just got this game today. I have an image of the game (MDF) and mounted it to Daemon Tools 4.00HE, installed the game (full install). From there I just clicked on the shortcut, it said something about installing copy protection (I imagine that it installed some rootkit) then I rebooted. Then since the image was still mounted in Daemon Tools I just played and it worked.

I just have an AMD Athlon 3000+ socket A (not 64bit) with 1Gb RAM, 128Mb 6600GT AGP, 1 × 36Gb Raptor on SATA1, 1 × 250Gb on SATA2, 1 × 120Gb on IDE1, 1 × DVDRW on IDE2, etc.
