I downloaded the BlindWrite 5 demo, and used it to image my NR2003 CD.

I then grabbed DaemonTools 3.41 and installed it.

I then installed the special BlindWrite DLL file in the DaemonTools folder
that allows DT to read the BlindWrite image files.

It _seems_ to be working!  WooHoo!  No more CD scratches to worry about (and
my NR2003 CD is starting to look SAD!).

I also got this utility called DaemonScript.  It basically creates a script
you can double-click on that:

1.  Loads the proper Image into DaemonTools virtual CD drive.
2.  Sets the proper emulation.
3.  Launches the game.

A very nice addition.

If it stays up durning tomorrows practice race, I'll call it success.  If
not, I have the CD handy :)

I used *** 120% to make my ISO.  If you specify the copy
protection used on the CD when you rip the disc, you don't have to do
anything special with Daemon-Tools, just point to the ISO and play.
Sorry, I don't recall which one NR2003 uses... SecuROM *new* maybe?

Good luck,
