I ticked skip read errors, and advance sector scanning.

Mount the image.
Now in order for it to work, disable all REAL hardware optical drives via device manger (admin tools, or control panel>system) right click and go disable.

now it should work.

This is only to be used if you have Bought Original Game. and are only using it for a no-CD/DVD options, to keep the disc safe from damage.

Use your own disc to create the image, since the image would be 3.4gb.

Hi guys,
I haven't got this game yet (buying it on the weekend) but I'm curious as to how this method works. From what I can tell Daemon Tools doesn't work with SafeDisc 4.7 (unless I have the wrong version?). How many people have succesfully used this method?

Does not work with Daemon Tools for me, I have the latest version. But it does work when I mount it in Alcohol 120.

Trick is that you need to disable all physical drives so the only drive you have is a virtual one, this seems to be key to getting this thing past Safedisk, not sure why but it seems to be well known if you look around the net. Like this link posted earlier.

I made my own image from my DVD like solwayuk said and all works well. Others have got this to work. Seems the only way forward is a full image, razors image does not work as a full image for some reason.

razors image does not work as a full image

Why are you using a warez image if you have the original DVD!!??

[bushstar]

I wanted to play BF2142 in 2 places but only had one DVD. I did not want to move the DVD back and forth or even have to use a DVD at all.

So I tried razor's image, this did not work but thanks to a couple of helpful posts in this long thread I've made my own working image.

I did not know that making a working image could actually be a fairly painless procedure.

So now I can play in both places using my one serial and my backup image

plz. send me valium .exe
Senks in advance...
method by slowayuk not working =(

[zgDonkey]

So no Daemon tools, just make an image and mount it using Alcohol 120%? Almost sounds too easy

Are you sure that with the valium exe, mounting a full working image, there's no way punkbuster ban the cd-key ? I don't want to loose it, it's so expensive :x
