Question:

I play half life and i read da other persons question that said that he wants to play half life at the same time as his brother. you said that you dont need the CD to play half life, but you do need it. Try to run half life without the CD in and click Single player and try to start a new game. It says u have to put in the CD. So how do u copy it? also how do u copy cd's for stuff like microsoft windows and microsoft word. i need an extra copy and i legally own it.

Answer:

As far as HL goes, what Mike was trying to explain is that you can play HL on 2 computers in multi player. I know it was kinda hard to understand, oh well. Any ways if you want to play HL on 2 computer you would have to burn HL to a CD and install it form the burned CD. You can use "clonecd" (Link: http://www.elaborate-bytes.com/ )
Or if you have a home network you can locate the pc, find the cd drive and just make a short cut from the other PC.

There is a program out there that can copy copy protected cds. You only can do this if you legally own the cd though. CloneCD is a great program. You can get CloneCD at http://www.elaborate-bytes.com . CloneCD is a trial version unless you pay for it. It is worth paying for it though. Well good luck coping.
