Did you extract the .exe file from the .rar file? You need winrar to do this.

Have you patched the game? If you have, then you'll need the no-cd for the patched version of N2003. From what you've written, you're using the no-cd for the unpatched version of the game. Alanb

I can't help with this, but it begs me to ask another question along the same lines. My NR2003 CD has been in a dedicated CD drive since 2003. Yes, it's actually been in my computer, whichever build, for 4 years now :) Probably the safest place for it, but it is time to start thinking about a disaster such as the OP has, especially since copies on eBait are running way up there. There HAS to be a way to image this CD into an ISO that can be used to re-create the CD as needed. I have Alchohol 120%, but to be honest I've never fully understood this program or how to use it. Too damned many options :) Anyone familiar on how to make (working) backup copies of NR2003 using Alchohol 120% or another program? -Larry "AdamUK1986" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

this is from someone else. I take no credit for it, but it does work. 1.Install alcohol 120% and start the program 2.click image buring wizard, top left 3.browse to the file nr2003.mds, ,click next 4.at the bottom of the next screen in the datatype windows, choose securom *new, A. IF YOU WANT TO USE THE CD TO PLAY N2K3 DO THE FOLLOWING, OTHERWISE JUST GO TO WWW.GAMECOPYWORLD.COM AND DOWNLOAD THE NOCD PATCH THERE.DO A SEARCH FOR IT ON THE RIGHT -(make sure you check "Burm RMPS to Media" the RMPS is a file that records how long it takes to access files on the cd, a Very important feature of Securom. You'll always have to use alcohol with the RMPS feature Under Emulation to play that copy, but it should work).then CLICK start mike mls67

Thanks for the info! If I read this right, usage of the copy requires Alchohol 120%. I'd actually like to have a stand-alone clone of the original CD that can work all by itself. -Larry "mls067" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:xnM6i.63$[email hidden]...

If you're fluent in BitTorrent, you could download a .bin, and .cue, that you can burn to a CD. I"m not sure if the serial number is CD specific, but, it might be something to try. Mininova ;) On Mon, 28 May 2007 22:13:21 -0400, "Larry \(The Other Larry\)" <[email hidden]> wrote:

if u go the bin-cue way, u should use daemon tools to mount the image, no burning needed to install or play the game.

The Serial number is NOT specific to the CD, but the Ripping the image with RMPS (as stated in earlier post) then mounting the image with Daemon tools, works like a charm. I used Blindwrite, but that was like version 3 (way back when) doing what alcohol120 supposed to do as well. AFAIK, If you go the NO-CD download, I was under the understanding that the game would not connect to sierra multiplayer? I was not clear if you could still do a direct IP-connection (circomventing the chatroom/sierra lobbies). But if they (race host/server) listed the race server on sierra, then I know you couldn't use the no-cd, well again, last I knew!? ONLY with direct IP connecting, to an "unknow" server would work, like @ a lan party, say without internet connections etc. deadguy3 enlightened us with:

Thanks for the info guys. I guess, however, the answer to my question is no. I can't have a stand-alone backup of my Nr2003 CD :) -Larry "Plowboy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CHW8i.17839$[email hidden]...

Larry (TOL), The answer from me is, really that, you maynot re-create the "CD" onto a CD media, least I have NOt been able to, but I only tried 2 times at first anywhow... Because, I have kept My CD in a nice safe place in the basement now for what, well, over 4 years? I raced online all the time through sierra, OLR and anywhere I wanted to. But I have been able to store those files I created with Blind write on a DATA DVD disk for archival purporses <VBG> as well as the tool to mount it, and rip it and almost all the patches and downloads for nascar03. You use Alcohol or Blind write, to rip an image, but it is NOT just an generic "ISO" image. I dont have any of it here or handy at work now (but I did, dang it). But not long ago I had a copy installed here so I could do reviews for my league, at work if I had free time. Blindwrite would decode the Safedisk (RMPS) and the ISO to a couple of files that Daemon tools would then use to "mount" a fake CD version. Now, I am not the expert on burning cd and all that, my drive might been crap, or I needed better burning software? any rate I dont use my CD and havent for several years, on ANY of my computers.

LMAO - the clueless trying to lead the clueless Here's the no cd patch. If you can't figure out how to install you need to sell your pc and buy a console game. http://dumbassracer.tripod.com/dumbass.html
