How do you back up an installed game thats missing CD?

[houndazs]

I have just recently conquered vampire bloodlines and in the process of returning the cd to its case with the other two realized that i cannot find it. is there a way to creat a 1:1 copy of a game that is installed on your comp. without the any of the cd's at all? By making a MDS, or ISO file or whatever.


P.S. i am framilier wi the burning process and use DAEMON tools to mount images offten as well. Please Help!

You can copy the games install flder (where the game is installed of course) then you will need to dig into your system registry and export the registry keys for the game. Afterwards, you can zip/rar the files and use a program such as UltraISO to put them on an ISO then burn it using your favorite burning software.

As far as what registry keys, no idea, I have the game somewhere, however, really do not want to install it or even find it atm :P
