Hey guys, hows it?
Hey i'm having some trouble mounting and installing a mds and a mdf file for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadows of Chernobyl. Is there anyone here that could chat with me on this, maybe give me some much needed advice?
I know somebody else here has got to blaze and game. I hope. ?????????????????????????????????????????????

Yeah, actually I have checked everywhere, and I keep getting info on what kind of file it is, what it is used for, what program created it, etc., but no help with this particular scenario apparently.
The note in the game instruct you to mount the game with your virtual drive, i've tried this with magiciso, magicdisc, daemon tools(with each emu option ticked) and it will install the game, but when you launch the game, it gives you an error message that says "unable to authenticate original cd or dvd, try reinstalling the game and try again." I've mounted both the mds and the mdf files and tried every option, but it returns the same message.
Whats up with that?
Anybody have a clue? Cuz i know I dont.

OK from my experience your game has a copy protect that rejects virtual drives. You may have to run the game from CD. I used to know a sight that had tools to defeat or remove the cd check function as well as eliminate the need to use virtual drives to play your games from. wait i found it!!! maybe this will help
