So, I bought MW (2005) years ago, played it on my old notebook. Now, I‘d like to play it again on a newer one. Since it has no CD drive, I wanted to copy the data per USB.
Created an iso of the CD, created a virtual drive on the new PC, autorun, entered activation code, installed the game.
However, when I try to start the game, it fails, because it couldn’t find the CD. That’s odd because it should have access to the virtual drive, containing an exact iso and the Installation seems to work flawless.
Does the copy protection prevent it, because it’s not the physical disk? Is there a solution to this problem or at least any way to play it without external CD drive?
