    Backing up PC games

    Is there a way to back up a recent pc game i tried it with "The Sims"....but when i went to use it i got the message ....insert original cd rom....?

    Or can someone point me to a web page that might help.

    Thanks, Simmmy.

      You recieve that message because the original cd was copyrighted and had a "code" on it which only certain burning programs/cd-rw drives can crack. Apparently your program or drive can't. Search the net for more info, i'm sure you'll find some.
      Did you know you can SEARCH the forum? Fixes common problems too:

      Also search on the whole Digital-Digest website:
