    you will have to buy a new copy of BF2 & SF when you need to re-install it but in the mean time you can use a mini-image to play the game.

    With DAEMON Tools installed on your machine Running or ‘Mounting’ the image take a matter of seconds.

    1. If you haven’t already, make sure DAEMON tools if running. You will no this when there is an icon in your taskbar that is red and when hovering above it says DAEMON tools.
    2. Right Click on this and go into Virtual CD/DVD Drive emulation. Then go down to set the number of drives. If you plan on doing this one more than one CD change it so it fits your needs.
    3. Now in Virtual CD/DVD Drive emulation go to your Drive (Mine was called Drive G) and go to ‘Mount-Image’ Navigate to were you saved your mini-images and then double click on the one that shows up. There should only be one of your 2 files being shown (the one with a suffix of .mds)

    Once it is mounted correctly a pop-up should appear with the contents of Disk-One. You are now done!

      Just download the CD-image, speaking of which, why did you not back them up already? Exercise your rights

          theres nothing wrong with cd-images/mini-images only thing that will get you kicked from servers would be trying to use ***** patches,
