    Alrighty so I'm up here at my dad's house and we just got our internet set up and I am having issues.

    My dad got himself a copy of SC BW and we would like to game together. The connection is not the issue, we have a connection--The issue is that I forgot my broodwar copy at my mom's house and my mom lives like freak'n 2 hours away and I ain't about to go over there to get it tonight--So I've been trying to figure out how to burn my dad's copy.

    So here's the problem, we have a burner on my comp but it's also the CD drive. So I'm trying to figure out how to burn this thing with only one drive.

    Anybody with any ideas or know-how on how to get this thing burned so my dad and I can play together?

    Thanks peeps :D

    With the new patch you don't need a CD.

    Course... no problem...

    Option 1) (May not work because it's a game)
    Pop the first CD into the drive and copy all of the files on the CD to a folder on the desktop.

    Then pop in your second CD and drag all the files onto the new CD just as they were on the first. Then hit "burn these files to CD" and let her fly.

    Option 2)
    There are a number of CD burning programs, but they usually have some kind of option for single-drive burning. Pop in your first CD, open up the program with that CD and prepare to write the second disc. It should automatically copy and then burn the second CD.

    Good luck!

    P.S. Moving this to Computers and not tutorials. :D

    EDIT: What Fenix says is also true... Follow this guide to use the no-CD patch:

    Okay, well, fine, here's what you do then!!!

    Download MagicISO (just search Google for MagicISO). Open the program and create an .ISO image using the Brood War disc.

    Then take out the CD, pop in a new one, and burn the .ISO to your new CD.

    Now that one WILL work.

    PWNED! *sticks knife in table* Any more questions?

    All aboard the Failtrain. Your conductor this evening is Jon Eagle.



    All humor aside, as far as ease and least amount of time, I'd just go with the no-CD patch. It's legal too :p

    Well, she's just trying to make *backup copies* of her own software, so it's not all THAT bad...

    Right?

    Too bad BW doesn't have the "Install Spawn" option

    Well technically it isn't illegall... as long as you own a copy of the CD. Nik's right... backups are always the answer.

    Depends on who's software it is.
    According to some companies backup copies ARE illegal.
    It's bull**** I know but thats how things work sometimes

    Remember that EULA? It's technicly a contract
