Hi guys,


I've been trying to make backup copies of my Warcraft 3 / The Frozen Throne game Discs and keep Originals safe, but keep the images on my HDD for better performance/loading times. Problem is, I've Installed both games and Fully updated both to version 1.21a, then I used Alsohol 120% to make an Image of WC3:The Frozen Throne by doing the Following.

1. Inserted Original into DVD/CD Drive,
2. Image Making Wizard,
3. Datatype - Securom *NEW (4/5/7),
4. Left all little Boxes as Default,
5. Chose MDS/MDF Image File
6. DPM speed 1x (though at 1st, my DVD drive (Pioneer 110D) said it couldn't do that speed, so I used an Old CD-Rom (brand unknown) which managed to do it.)

After the Image was created, I mounted it Alcohol 120% virtual Drive, tried loading the game (The Frozen Throne) and it came up a message "Please make sure your Frozen Throne disc is in your CD-Rom drive, then click on Retry"

This is where I'm stuck at... I'm don't really know what else to try. I could try burning to a Blank CD though I figured it would Probably have the same Problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated


Thank You

I just lodged a System Report as I thought only Guests had to do so and not Members (then I read more carefully :\)

Also, sorry for 2nd Post.. I couldn't find the Edit button :S

[EDIT] hmm.. why'd the edit button show up on this post but not for my 1st one

It's not allowing me to Send an Email.. keeps saying the Email address I used is wrong even though it's the one I used to create my account.

Please PM one of the admins with these details and they should be able to action this for you forthwith.

Hi,

It's not letting me send a direct Message either.. keeps saying "You are not allowed to use the messenger feature on this board"... Should I send an Email to support_team@alcohol-soft.com ?

[zamiel]

You can email it to the support team or on the office change it gets blocked by spam filters you can send it to me if you like at zamiel@orcon.net.nz and I will pass it on to the appropriate people.

[zamiel]

I have passed this one to one of the admins and hopefully will be done soon.

[zamiel]

Can you check your email please?

[zamiel]

Thank you for your system report.

When creating the image use High Precision and the lowest possible DPM speed (should be set by selecting the datatype).

Have you installed the game from the virtual drive?

Yup, I used those 2x Settings when making The Frozen Throne Image, but I havn't tried Installing the game from that Image as yet.. I still only have the Original install from the Original Disc. Should I uninstall it then re-install from the mounted Image ?


Thank you

[zamiel]

Yup, give that a shot. Some games look for the disc in the drive that they were installed from.

[Smeagol]

cool, I'll give that a shot. Also, does it matter what speed I use to create the Image ?

[zamiel]

Generally slower the better for accuracy.

[Smeagol]

hmm... I made Images of both WC3 and TFT, mounted and installed both then updated, yet still getting the "Please make sure correect disc is in drive" problem

Try using YASU http://www.free-down...t/programs/Yasu

[Smeagol]

Tried that.. got sent it in an Email from Alcohol after I lodge the System report.. still didn't work :\

[Phoenix]

Disable your IDE drives

[Smeagol]

done, didn't work. Tried both mounting to Alcohol with and without YASU loaded.

This means that your drive is most likely unable to extract the correct DPM
