Unable to make backup cd. Help Please

Post by perpster »

Hi All. I just purchased Highway to the Reich (AA:HTTR).

I play almost exclusively on a laptop that travels quite a bit, so a backup copy of the cd is essential (and it's obviously good SOP practice to always keep a backup anyway). I have tried to copy it on 2 different pc's but both tell me the new OEM HTTR disk is unreadable (dirty, etc.). The disk is not dirty; in fact, it loads the install program just fine.

So, let me ask the forum:

1. is the cd copy protected?

2. is there some obvious reason I am overlooking why I am unable to burn a backup cd?

3. is it necessary to have the cd in the drive whenever playing, and if so, can that cd be the backup instead of the original?

For the record, I paid US$49.99+tax and I am not a bootlegger.

I can't wait to install and play this game, but I have a couple of projects to finish first. Installing and playing HTTR will be my reward!
