This disk uses SafeDisk 2, which makes it hard to copy. I used a really cheezy way to make a backup and it worked just fine. I opened to CD directory in Windows Explorer, and then just made sure I was able to view all files, Selected all, and then dragged and dropped it into a directory on my harddrive.

Then I created a data disk with all the files and directories from my copy on my harddrive, just using a simple write program. I then installed from this copy and everything went fine, except the game won't run as it detects your disk as not the original. However, download the no-cd patch, and you will have a fully functioning game.

So while the backup process isn't great, it works, and you could even include the no-cd .exe on your new data disk for future backup use.
