Angry harry potter crack problem

dear friends,
actually im new to this crackin world and ive downloaded many softwares for cd backup like clone cd from the gamecopyworld website.

well,my problem is that i had made an exact copy of harry potter original cd using easy cd creater software that came with my hp cd writer.But later i found out that the copied cd could not work as the original one was protected with safedisc v2.

Now my problem is that can someone give any links or help me so that i can download the crack exe frm any site and can play the game with my copied cd??I have downloaded the NO CD cracks of about 124kb size from many websites but i dont know what to do with them.Also when i execute these cracks of 124kb they give an error message like" cannot find required window.dll ".

Please anyone who knows anything bout my problem do help me.My email id is [email protected]
When i insert the copied game cd and run the game it gives the error message "Please insert the correct cd and try again".
can using a crack file help???PLEASE DO ANSWER

Harry Potter is not only protected with Safedisk2 but with ATIP protection as well.
If you have a writer capable of 'correct EFM coding' (can handle Safedisk 2), Check here then use Clone CD to copy it. (Use Fast Error Skip while reading to an image file, and use ur burner to make the image file).
If your burner can't do correct EFM coding then the new feature in Clone CD 'Amplify Weak Sectors' MIGHT help. You select this when you are writing the image file to the CD.

Both of these ways WON'T get rid of the ATIP protection. The ATIP is a small section on every CD-R that holds the manufacturers name, length etc. This ATIP isn't present on pressed Cd's, so if there is ATIP present then it won't play. Another of Clone CD's new features is it's 'Hide CD-R Media'. When this is enabled, it hides that the game is burned, and so you will be able to play it. The downside being you have to have this feature running in the background.


The other option you have is to use Unsafedisk which will get rid of the Safedisk 2 AND the ATIP check. Instructions:

1)Copy all dll's to a temp directory, along with the main exe as well.

2)Run safedisk 2 dumper on the exe. A data.bin file is created.

3)Run safedisk 2 Rebuilder on the data.bin file. This creates your new 'fixed exe'.

4)Rename the new file to exactly what the original one was.

5)To burn to a CD-R - copy the whole disk to a temp directory, replace the original exe with the new 'fixed exe'. Use Nero preferably to burn the contents of the temp directory WITH THE ORIGINAL CD LABEL. If the label on the original cd is "Harry_Potter", then your copy must have this exactly as well.


BTW: If you don't want to use Unsafedisk then download the fixed exe from GCW - look for one that says Unsafedisk beside it, if it doesn't say it beside it then just continue with it anyway.

GET RID OF EASY CD CREMATOR

Thumbs up cannot findwindow.dll

You should put the extractet files to the directory that contains the main programm exe. In This case it should be the directory c.../Harry Potter/System
Overwrite files with the same name and then run the patch

atip is part of safedisc bastards

also, cd creator is worth 2 cents. i suggest you use it for a coaster, before you start using it to make your own
