Generally it is illegal to have 2 copies of the game running at the same time from the same license (1 purchase = 1 license) See the EULA for details.
This is why copy protection exists.

Try to see if the game runs with the original disk. Maybe the problem isn't related to the mini image. If it does run with the original disk, use the original disk.

EULA stands for end user license agreement.

When you buy software, you don't actually buy the software. You are buying a copy and license to use it. Making a copy of software is illegal under current stupid copyright laws. To use a copyrighted work you must have a license (or a defence such as "fair use"). The EULA is that license. Violate it and your license is void. So yes, the copyright infringement police (international law .. stupid I know) will "kick the door down". In the meantime the forum police will ban him.

Yes copyright law is stupid but it is the law. Thank you for playing.

couldn't he just say he made a 'backup' copy when he first bought it because the disc could possibly get scratched or become worn out from being force to stick it in our cd/dvd drives everytime we choose to play?
That's what I would say, it's happened to me several times, not so much being worn out but accidentally dropped, then stepped on and broken.

Guys,

I've got a different problem. When I mount mini image to (mdS) daemon 4.10 pro advanced my windows is freezeing. I can't do anything. When (mdf) is mounted it shows in label "unknown" but game will not going to run. I don't understand why. It works fine with original dvd insterted. Any idea why ?

PS.
I'm using IDE drive not SCSI.

Regards,
maxim
