Just for the record, the problem was fixed by unplugging and replugging the PSU.
True story.

This is very interesting, never gave that one a thought, was instead thinking of Hiren Boot CD and clone the HD.

Yeah, I initially thought something got corrupted due to him loading the new HDD, but he told me that he didn't boot from that at all. That made e think it could be a PSU problem, so I asked him to unplug the power supply from the DVD Drive. This, he'd already done, and tbh, I wouldn't have thought of unplugging and replugging the PS!

Anyway, if such a problem reoccurs, or happens with anyone else, we now know what to do

Not a problem really but, my AC09 disc is getting old and scratches are increasing day by day. I've created the image of the disc. I also burnt it to blank DVD but, now when I insert that DVD it says me to insert the original one instead of a backup. So, does this mean I won't be able to play the game if and when the original disc is damaged completely maybe?

AC09 has some copyright thingy I suppose from what I heard.

So if your game cd corrupts sorry you will not be able to do.

The readme file of the game says something about a backup copy though. So, there should be some way...

You can only create a image and cannot burn it because it uses securerom just use daemon and some tool to hide daemon and it should be fine

Could you help me out as to how I can do it?

CrickSim isn't working for me in Vista 64 bit, any help? Tried running it in compatibility mode, still no relief.

dos based programmes don't work in 64-bit OSs

 

[Gaurav_7]

Isn't there any way I can get it to work or is it just a goner for me?

 

[Chewie]

run it in a virtual machine that is running a 32-bit os

I run it on my macbook pro in a virtual machine

Had the same problem. No solution yet.

 

[Abhas]

There is no possible solution for 16 bit applications to run on x64 architecture. Maybe something like Dos-box might help, but I'm not too sure.

 

[Bounce]

Dos-box will allow the file to run, but I doubt about the team files.
