NOTE: My PC has an nforce3 mobo (Gigabyte GA-K8NS-939) with an Athlon64 cpu. The hard drive is alone on the primary ide channel, DVD+RW and CD-RW drives (both are LITE-ON drives) are on the secondary ide channel.

Hi
i dont understand what the mobo have to relevance with the protection game,,,
just mount the game (king kong) use anti-blaxx DT-4 alchole 120 image disconnect the cd/dvd from power and you good to GO !

The relavance is that the motherboards in question use an IDE controller which cannot be directly addressed by the SF drivers. What this means is that they are unable to attempt to reactivate drives which have been disabled either via the BIOS or via Windoze device manager. This means that all that is necessary is to disable the physical CDs via device manager and away you go. (People with SATA HDDs like myself may not even need to do this, seems to depend on the exact mobo)
