Hello,
i don't know if this is the right forum. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I own a original Warcraft: Tides of Darkness 2 CD, german version.
Seems to be a mixed mode cd without copy protection.
I tried ImgBurn, CloneCD and Alcohol 120 to make a copy of the cd.
I can install the game from cd, but it doesn't accept the cd for the intro, new campaign and so on.
Is there a copy prrotection (bad sectors, ....) or why can't i copy the cd?

Should be fine since it's a backup of an original disc for personal use.

No copy protection afaik (and even if there was, the programs you're using would certainly be capable of dealing with one that old). Does the original disc still work? Maybe it's started to rot (both of my copies certainly have), and the copy obviously can't be any better than the original.

edit: definitely no protection, you can simply drag the naked files over to a new blank cd and it'll work. Game doesn't care about the audio tracks or even the disc label.

Thought so, too.
The original Disc does work fine, installs and plays cd-audio.
Searching with google results in many problems copying a mixed mode cd.
Does someone can name a program which can copy a mixed mode cd?
