Virtual CD with Delta Force LW

Has anyone ever come across a problem creating a disk image with Virtual CD 3. 0. 8 on certain disks, such as Delta Force: Land Warrior? I am pretty sure it is because of the copyright protection, but am trying to find a work around so I can make this image.

Of course, the image does not work. Thanks!

Try using Daemon Tools instead of Virtual CD. Sure, it lacks the ability to compress the archive, but you don´t have the Win2k ability to compress NTFS partitions for nothing.
 
A good CD reading software is needed, too. Try using CloneCD, BlindRead - BlindWrite Suite or DDump. However, DDump won´t run on my W2k machine so I need to switch OSes. Maybe you have more luck on that than me.

OP
Thanks for the reply! I think I started messing around with Daemon Tools a couple of days ago. I will check it out better this time. About Virtual CD and compression, I have yet to try that because I wanted faster access time. The images are all on my server, so I got the space. :): Thanks again!

I didn´t like Daemon Tools too back then. But after Virtual CD not being compatible with W2k and Farstone´s (Virtual Drive) usual "users being dumbasses" declaration (excuse me but this had to be said) I gave the ´Tools another try. As of yet, I think it´s the best CD emulation soft, and it´s free.
