Alright, I have a problem. I have a LEGALLY downloaded copy of A2 without a CD. This is not warez, it is not illegal, and my copy of Daemon Tools has broken down (I have an image), so can anyone help me? It would mean a lot. I am not angry with the FO team, in fact I have nothing but respect for them, but this is plain annoying! The Web is the only place I can get A2 for a decent price, but I can't install FO! This sucks.  Thanks. |

Hello fellow Commonwealther! I'm not too familiar with Daemon tools, but if you have an image and want to write it, try the free and open source Infrarecorder: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/I used it to make a Ubuntu (Linux) CD after I downloaded the ISO image: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowtoOr maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree!!! Hope this helps.  |

It's from one of those "membership" download sites. I can't remember which one, though. I downloaded from my friend's computer using his account. And, for Dr. Lazarus, thanks for the tip. I'll try it out. Posted on: September 13, 2008, 03:52:44 PM
There's just one more problem: the image is bigger than the disc. Disc Size: 702 MB Image Size: 795 MB I don't have any DVDs on hand either. QI'yaH! |

Seems odd that, since the original A2 shipped on a CD-ROM. Seems you need to get a blank DVD my friend.  |

It's a .mdf file. I have no clue regarding CD images, so any help is appreciated. |

.mdf files can only be read on a computer running mac os x iirc. You'd need a .iso or .cue to read it with daemon tools on windows. |

Then how come it worked once? Then Daemon Tools broke down. I am using DT Lite 4.30.1. Posted on: September 13, 2008, 08:41:47 PM
Never mind, I just remembered that my friend gave me a copy of PowerISO, and now it's working beautifully. Thanks for everything though, guys. |
