Hi,

I recently bought two titles which are copy protected with Safedisc 2.0 - Emporer: Battle for Dune and Max Payne.

One wouldn't install at all, and the other would run until I applied a no-CD crack!. A search revealed that many others are also suffering similar problems...

Both companys said that this is a problem with the copy protection code, which they don't maintain, and therefore cannot fix... wonderful

Apparently the problem is that I have lots of partitions and my CD-ROM drive is on L:, so it isn't something that will easily fix-able.

Anybody got any ideas how I can make my CD-ROM appear as G: or lower, or other suggestions?

Cheers,

Alex

P.S. Thanks to EA and Remedy for conducting such exhaustive testing... not!

P.P.S. Once I had hacked Max Payne to get it to work properly I discovered that it is excellent - you have a nifty Matrix / John Wu style 'bullet time' slowmo feature which looks very good from some of the camera angles.

Depends what O/S you're running. NT and 2000 no bother to swap drive letters.
You could use the subst command in a DOS autoexec file e.g subst L: G: , would work for 95 and 98.
