Need to make a working copy of my war3 CD

That my original frozen throne cd had few scratches didnt matter for the fast cd-rom. With a new PC now im with a dvd-rom, not cd- . Better maybe, yes, but unlike the cd-rom after few months it made a line from the inner ring of my CD to the end. And the line cut by the laser was getting bigger every time. Now the CD is barely readable. So let's say that after 5 mins of reading the CD manages to work. I went through nero and tried alcohol 120% as i thought this prog would make something diff - well in the same way it didnt create an image of cd that can be read as original and couldnt start the game (pls insert the cd in the cd-rom . message). I used the datatype Securom 1/4/5/ (smth like that) as im not sure what version my war3 is but i think this is the datatype. Well, no result in making a workable CD. And pls dont tell me things like 'my thread is realted to image', im not asking about someone giving me images, i have my own original copies and when i have a problem like this i have the right to do whatever i want with my CDs and whatever is necessary to make it work, im doing it for myself.

If someone has made it work, could you pls tell me the way to do it?
 
Well i have no advice but, i use Virtual CD. It basically stores CDs and DVDs on your hardrive in their original form, it also creates virtual drives that allow you, through use of the program, to use them like normal CDs and DVDs, so that you won't have to worry about the laser "cutting" the CD. (which shouldn't happen, it uses infrared light to read the CD) I rarely ever have to use a physical CD anymore, unless i am copying it.

Sadly, if there really is as big a "scratch" as you say, I know of no program that could help you.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
