What does it mean to mount daemon tools. How to make a disk image using standard Windows tools
My name is Sergey and I have a question for you. How to install a game using DAEMON Tools? I have an old game, I really like it, I bought it a long time ago, it starts only if there is a CD in the drive. A friend advised me to make a disk image and run the game from it, since naturally the disk does not last forever, it can get scratched or lost, and I haven’t seen this game in stores for a long time. I know there is nothing illegal in this. The image was made in Nero program. After some time, I reinstalled Windows and could not install my game again from the CD; it gives a CRC data transfer error. I remembered the image and was happy, but soon realized that DAEMON Tools, Alcohol 120%, was a dark forest for me. Tell me what should I do next?
