Hiya mate,
Any chance of you providing some more complete system info please? Just tried this on the lappy (Tecra S1, Centrino chipset) & SF works without drives being disabled in any way (POP 2T). It sounds to me as if we may have found another 'inacessible' chipset, or it could possibly be related to the fact that I anyway have a hotpluggable DVD/ HDD. (Normally use the HDD) An Everest report would be great  Cheers -Leezer-

(It is very sad to see the home edition of Lavalys Everest, formerly AIDA32, an "industry standard" free software, having been discontinued...
 )

 Well, VirtualDrive10 isn´t that cheap at all... Around fifty bucks. But, I´ll have a try if my trial-download-mail will appear in the inbox... Dammit, hate registrations for trialware... Bye the way: Nice post, if it works! Thx for sharing! But... I´m afraid how long this method will face the starforce-updates... UPDATE: ======= Workaround confirmed with: - Worms 4 Mayhem (incl. Update-Patch) - Prince Of Persia - The Two Thrones Used Virtual Drive 10 for disabling, image mounted in Daemon Tools V4.00 Motherboard-Chipset: Nforce 2 Before installing VirtualDrive 10: Starforce detected IDE drive and wants the disc there After installing VirtualDrive 10 and following the guide above: Starforce checks discs and succeeded. Fooling around a bit more with it tonight... BTW: VirtualDrive10 gives you a fifteen day trial... UPDATE 2: ======== Confirmed Games: - Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Retail) - Trackmania Sunrise (incl. eXtreme Add-On/Patch) UPDATE 3: ======== Tested Game: Trackmania Sunrise eXtreme - Software-Drive-Disabling via Starforce Nightmare: Detected, Starforce gives Error-Feedback - Software-Drive-Disabling via Virtual Drive 10: Successfull, game starts Re-Enabling drives gives a little error. While disabling the ide-drives, HardwareManager reports a deactivated Nforce-Controller. After re-enabling them, the Nforce-Controller is "enabled" again, but the IDE-Drives under the "Drives"-Tab is still disabled. Right-Clicking on it and "reactivating" the drive is successfull. Drive is recognized by windows and other applications (nero) again. Reboot was not needed. Small hint: With SFN-Deactivated IDE-Drive the Virtual Disc 10 application reports an error when it tries to deactivate the IDE-Drive, but starforce will be cheated nevertheless. Well... Something strange happened... Had the idea to test VD10s abilities to start starforce-images... But... VD10 recognizes its OWN virtual drives as physical ones... Deactivated Daemons Drives, but problem still stays the same. Added another virual drive with VD10, rebooted as requested... Same thing again... VD10s virtual one appears to be a physical to it... Trial-Limitation? Would be weird, though... Any suggestions!? Last edited by !HaGaR!; 06-01-2006 at 14:41.

@kooka: Don't litter with your off-topic questions here; use the "PC Games" forum instead!
@!HaGaR!: I believe NO ONE should even launch a browser and go online without knowing, at least, basic English! The world language is certainly not English (yet?) but the Web language is English. (I know German and French people - and probably quite a few other nations, too - really get pissed about it but, well... better luck next time...  ) Also, organizing not only the translation of already existing guides but also the maintenance of translations, whenever an English guide is updated, is a major headache; I don't want to bother with it.(Damn, gotta start reading this forum. I've never visited it before...  )
