Use CloneCD to make an image of the CD.  Then use DaemonTools to mount the
CD under SecuRom emulation.

Not only do you not need the CD now, but you can race on-line.

This tip is only intended for those who legally purchased their copy of N4,
and only want to use it as THEY wish to use it as the legal purchaser.

Larry, I never used those tools but have tried something similar before and
the big drawback was that the image of the CD takes up as much space as the
CD itself. Disk space is cheaper then ever before, but it still seems like a
huge waste of space. Is that how this utlity works, too?

  I'm using the daemon tools for N4.  It works great and Yes it takes up a
lot of room on a hard drive.
but with a 30 meg tied to a 13 meg and kicking my kids shooters off...lots
of room.
However, since the patch came out, everytime I reboot the the autostart N4
screen comes up.  Not a problem but wierd...

turn autostart off, right. Not sure how to go aobut doing it now, but if I
were to click aroudn I might find it.

There is probably an option to turn the auto-insert feature off.

Right click on my computer, device manager, CD ROMs and turn off auto insert
notification for the virtual CD ROM.

Yes.

It's not a waste of space if it accomplishes your goal :)

That's an option DaemonTools.  You need to turn off the Autostart for that
CD 'slot'.

Actually, I believe for DaemonTools images you set that option per image in
DaemonTools itself.

I think...

:)

From Daemon tools manual.

2.4 Note for ALL operating systems:
-----------------------------------
Virtual DAEMON Manager starts with Windows by default. You can disable this
behaviour in the options menu by unchecking 'Autostart' option! You may run
the manager manually, if you want, by clicking on the shortcut placed on the
desktop by setup. Emulation will not be active until you run the Manager and
select the desired emulation!
Images previously mounted are remounted after reboot if you have 'Autostart'
enabled. If 'Autoinsert Notification' (AIN) is enabled, too, the mounted
images
will 'Autorun'. To prevent this disable AIN or deselect 'Automount' in
DAEMON
Manager.

So I guess we're both sort of right, but without AIN you don't have to
remount whenever you want to play.

True enough. I'll give it a try. If I like it, I can always get another disk
just for cd images. Where do you get these utilities, Larry?
