Nothing else required, no need to disconnect anything, no need to run anything either, but you will need an Nforce 4 mobo.

I have an nforce 4 mobo.. but still it won't work with an image >_<..
Disabling the drives doesn't seem to work either

I never said an image, I said burned to a DVD/RW.
I also said no drives need to be disabled/unplugged as well.

What's the big deal with using images anyway? If it can be backed up to a disk, then your still not using the original.

True..but it would still find the mounting software(Daemon tools) and wil not run the game. not even using anti blacklist software

I'm not using Daemon tools, I'm not using any anti-blacklisting software or anything to hide drives, nothing but the game.

Just pop the disk in the drive and it works.
It must be an RW and if it doesn't work in the drive connected via IDE, then a drive mounted in a USB2 caddie, either way still no hiding or disconnecting.

Method using Alcohol, you may need to change speeds depending on your system hardware.

Creating an image.
Click the 'Image Making Wizard' button.
Click in the 'Data Position Measurement' box and select 'High', Next.
Choose your destination and image name then click 'Start', choose 'Maximum' for measuring speed(you may need to select a much lower speed depending on hardware) then 'OK'.

Burning image.
Click the 'Image Burning Wizard' button.
Browse to where the image is, click next.
Now click in the 'Burn "RMPS" to recordable Media' box and select max speed for writing (again you may need to slow it down depending on hardware) then click 'Start'.

I have burned 8X DVD+RW (Ricoh) at 8X and the disk worked.

My system Specs
Nforce 4 mobo
Pioneer 110 connected to IDE
Pioneer 106 connected via USB 2 caddie
Maxtor SATA II HDD

I tried burning it as you specified and it doesn't even try looking for a disk in my drivebays >_<.. he immediatly gives me the error:

Insert the RaceDriver3 (keyless) disk into another drive then press retry

when i mount an image and try opening it then.. he checks the disk for about 3 seconds and then gives that same error >_<
