Alright, I have a problem. I have a LEGALLY downloaded copy of A2 without a CD. This is not warez, it is not illegal, and my copy of Daemon Tools has broken down (I have an image), so can anyone help me? It would mean a lot. I am not angry with the FO team, in fact I have nothing but respect for them, but this is plain annoying! The Web is the only place I can get A2 for a decent price, but I can't install FO! This sucks. 

Thanks.

welcome to the forums
your best option would be to try to reinstall daemon tools. why doesn't that work?

just out of interest, where can you buy armada 2 online?

Hello fellow Commonwealther!

I'm not too familiar with Daemon tools, but if you have an image and want to write it, try the free and open source Infrarecorder:

http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

I used it to make a Ubuntu (Linux) CD after I downloaded the ISO image:

Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree!!! Hope this helps.

It's from one of those "membership" download sites. I can't remember which one, though. I downloaded from my friend's computer using his account.

And, for Dr. Lazarus, thanks for the tip. I'll try it out.[br]Posted on: September 13, 2008, 03:52:44 PM

There's just one more problem: the image is bigger than the disc.

Disc Size: 702 MB
Image Size: 795 MB

I don't have any DVDs on hand either. QI'yaH!

Seems odd that, since the original A2 shipped on a CD-ROM. Seems you need to get a blank DVD my friend.

It's a .mdf file. I have no clue regarding CD images, so any help is appreciated.

.mdf files can only be read on a computer running mac os x iirc.

You'd need a .iso or .cue to read it with daemon tools on windows.

Then how come it worked once? Then Daemon Tools broke down. I am using DT Lite 4.30.1.[br]Posted on: September 13, 2008, 08:41:47 PM

Never mind, I just remembered that my friend gave me a copy of PowerISO, and now it's working beautifully. Thanks for everything though, guys.
