Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.

Hello

Whenever I have to play the game, I have to insert the disc 2 in my DVD ROM despite installing the game on my hard drive.
Can someone help me with a cure for this (IE run the game without the CD?) I can run Microsoft Flight simulator without inserting the DVD in my DVD-rom.

original title: query on Microsoft Train Simulator 2001

I suspect that the game has Digital Rights Management in there (i.e., copy protection) and it checks for you ensure that you physically have the disc so that he knows that you are not a thief.  Many providers of game assumes that you are a thief and you prove that you're not demanding that the disc is in the DVD player when the game takes place.  What I do is to use a program like Alcohol 52%, a free program that can make a copy of a DVD/CD and include in the image copy protection so that you can use a DVD player virtual to mount the image file instead of having the real DVD mounted in a real drive.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

    Files to be copied.

    Large. I am pleased that my DBAN guide has helped you.

    Now that you are on the factory settings, I advise Dell DataSafe Local Backup uninstall and upgrade to the latest version of Dell backup and restoration which has many bugs/improvements, including the ability to restore to another hard drive which is useful in case the hard disk fails in the future or you decide to upgrade later to an SSD. The XPS 8300 running perfectly with a SSD, I have mine put in place with one. Then you can create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or Backup factory (Bootable USB Flash Drive) that will be promoted the recovery compared to the facts media with Dell DataSafe Local Backup.

  • Equium L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
    I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

    I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

    I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

    Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.
    K

    Hello

    Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
    Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

    I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100

    Good bye

  • HP 14-r025tx: what is the maximum size of hard drive I can replace my default one? & other hard disk performance issue

    My default hard disk is almost full and I plan to update. What is the maximum size that this model could overcome? Very well is 2-3 to?

    Another question.

    I replaced my optical drive to a box with a 250 GB SSD HARD drive inside. I installed my new operating system here, and makes the default boot drive. The default value of HARD drive that comes with the laptop is my backup drive. This is configured by okay?

    or

    Do I have to put my SSD on the default HARD drive space and put my 2 to/3 TB harddrive on the caddy for maximum performance?

    Hello

    1. in theory, you can get 2 TB or TB but 1 TB has better peformance.

    2. you cannot boot from the caddy. My suggestion: use for normal Bay and 2 TB SSDS in the caddy. You both what you want.

    3. as (2) above.

    Kind regards.

  • That if I broke some of the pins on my hard drive connection?

    Original title: I need help

    Hi guys, pls I need emergency assistance to solve the problem I have with my hard drive. I tried to fix the back of the hard drive on my system after I finished scan to check the virus outside, while I tried to plug the disk hard, part of the power with the intact pins connection point is broken, and since the system is not completely power the way which it used to. It feeds when the hard drive is not connected and as soon as I connect the HDD, it fuels and stops again. What should I do

    Hello, Brigitte,.

    If the connect the power supply to the hard drive has been broken, you've lost the hard drive. You must buy a new one. If it is a connection between the power supply and hard drive, then a new connector is necessary. Anyway you must have it looked at by a qualified technician. It is also wise to not it lights up when the hard drive is connected in case damages pins short the system and cause you more problems.

  • Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

    I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

    The answers will be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.
