Does anybody know of a way that I can make a backup copy of a PC game with copy protection.

It's not as shady as it sounds (if it was I would just download an illegal copy).

In previous years, the Football manager games have alway run without the disk in the drive or have accepted cracks to do the same.

However FM2010 is different - it will accept the No-Cd crack to run the game but will periodically check for a disk and, if it doesn't find one, will quit the game.

Unfortunately my discs always get scratched no matter how well I treat them as I am always on the go...in the pasttot wouldn't matter because, once installed, the game worked fine but not this version.

I need to make a backup if this game disk before the innevitable happens.

Please can anyone tell me any free programmes tonovetide the protection so that I can make a copy

Thanks
