As far as I know,

you can't make a backup copy to a physical CD without messing around with Blindwrite and its TwinSector script.

Since I didn't want to go through that hassle, i just made a backup using Alcohol 120% with the Safedisc 2/3 setting and created an image. I then loaded the image onto the virtual drive to run the game.

Man, originally installing this game was crazy! 5 CDs!!

Nope, there is a 5 Disc version as well, which as far as I am aware is only available in North America.

Looking at another forum,a lot of people who pre-ordered the DVD UK version (Play.com seem to be the main culprits) are getting the 5 disc version sent them with a £2 refund for "Inconvenience".
Guess I was wrong about them losing sales with a DVD-Only European release then.

I don't think any of this "dvd-nonedvd thing" has helpt out guy with the backup thing.

First, found out what protection.
Second, found out WICH cd that are protected.
IF you are lucky, often is the playdisc, 1 disc.
If you have VERY unlucky day, it can be every discs.....
