I thought the SP2 version was protected by Starforce. If so, then you won't be able tro make a backup.

i vote copy it and see what happens...........and i don't know why Microshitty would copy protect it...........as they are giving away SP-2 on CD if you want it and it says on the package to give it to your friends !!!!

Do any Data profile copy, with any softwar epackage, or direct 1:1 on the fly copy if you truley do not believe us when we tell you it isn't protected.

If it has any protection on it at all, a simple data copy will fail, especially a copy on the fly. You will see that it will succeed however...

Aren't we all missing the point....it doesn't matter if it is protected or not...outside the windows environment any protection should have no effect...and since you only really need the windows disk to load windows from, a simple bootable data cd is all that is required! If microsoft did protect it, they've just wasted a lot of money for nothing and i don't think they are that stupid yet! lol

Just do a nero copy and you will have a working backup.
