To Backup or not to backup, that is the real question ?

[Pop]

Hi,

Thanx 4 d info. i am grateful. just kinda didnt have access to this forum for a few days.

I phoned EA and they say their policy is that if you want a replacement cd u gotta cough up £7.50 for each disc plus postage cost.

About the no-cd fix, I havent found a "crack" for the game. the one I did find seems to be not 100% reliable. Found a few exe of "mounting". However I have found another way to over come the problem. I installed the expansion pack to the game. Now the game only asks for the original expansion pack cd and no longer for the original game cd. great!

Thanx 4 ur advice.

P.S. Bought another game recently.Once I finished installing the game, I chose to play it. However a message appears saying "please insert original cd disc instead of the backup cd". wats that about ??? I had the original cd in my cd-rom. Either SecuROM need to do better cd protections or someguy made a beautiful cd backup ?

Have any of u guys had that problem ?
