Guest Nixen Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Note: This has nothing to do with attempting piracy, my copy is fully legitimate. I would like to install the game on my netbook that has no cd/dvd drive, however since my copy is the boxed version, and that I don't have access to an external drive, is it at all posible to do so? Is it allowed to make an iso of the game disk and install it with some emulating program? And if so, what program could make that .iso? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben James Smith Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 use deamon(sp?) tools to mount the iso and imgburn to make the iso Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimland Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 if you got the computers linked through a network you should also be able to share the dvd drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
solstar Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Why not buy an external drive? Or use some cabling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalJez Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Not neccesary! Get Steam on your second comp, go to 'activate a game code' and you can download your second completely legal copy for free! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Roo Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Not neccesary! Get Steam on your second comp, go to 'activate a game code' and you can download your second completely legal copy for free! I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I installed steam on my second computer but when I went to "My Games" it shows that FM2009 is not installed. I contacted steam and they advised me to copy the 'steam.apps' file on to a flash drive (which I did) and then transfer it to steam but it doesn't seem to work. I tried pasting a shortcut to my desktop but whereas this comes up on the screen no amount of clicking an double clicking will get it going. I am obviously doing something wrong but I don't know what. When you say 'download the second game' - it took me 12 hours to download the first during which the other two computers on the network were more or less disabled until the download was complete. My wife uses her laptop for her internet business and was not amused (and that's putting it mildly)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalJez Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ah, the way I did it was to 'activate a game by steam' - put in my code and it then automatically started downloading FM. I'm not sure what you can do if you can't download it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortified Penguin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 When i went to install FM on my second pc, all i did was select install game and steam did the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
