Panzers backup

Hello
My grandson has a new wargame called Panzers.
It needs 'disc 3' inserted to play.
He is not very careful handling CDs and I see scratches already.
Is there any freeware to make an exact copy in case of accidents.
Thanks
Ted

Very often, especially with games, it is very difficult to make exact
copies of these CDs. These CDs often have copy protection on them
especially intended to foil just such copy attempts. The best freebee I've
seen for this sort of thing is called RAW CD Copy, last version was 2.1 I
believe. This may or may not work as the program is dated, and newer copy
protection schemes come out daily.

Your best solution is to go to "www.gamecopyworld.com" and
download the No-CD hack for the game. Almost all games have it
available. Install this according to instructions, and you will be
able to play the game without bothering with the CD at all. Do a
search on the Gamecopyworld site for the game.
