You are talking about reverse engineering a complex commercial copy protection.
Try Unsafedisc ver2.xx.xx first, as I believe this game is sd2 protected, and you may well get a no-cd loader created.
If you are serious about having a go at cracking you'll need...
1. SoftICE, by Numega
2. Win32Dasm, disassembler
3. Hiew, hex editor/disassembler
4. Lots of tutorials on setting up SoftICE, how to use it to crack.
I cannot give you more info, as it isn't as easy as you may think. There are many variables. e.g.
Is the game fully installed, or does it look for files to load from the cd? Is the actual loader encrypted within the game executable (as in sd2)? Is the executable itself packed or encrypted to prevent disassembling?
Your best bet is to do a google search for stuff like "cd crack tutorials" etc. Do LOTS of reading and be ready for lots of trial and error as you learn.
