I've also tried to disconnect my DVD drive (my only optical drive) physically and then it told me the cd-key is incorrect.
When the DVD was connected it told me to move the disc to another drive.
When i try to run sfcure01 or sfcure03_x64 after installing it, it closes up immediatly - this is what it tells me when i try to run it manually -


Afterwards I run SFN 1.12 and i disable node and cd. Then i try to run SC:CT but it tells me to insert the disc into another drive.
I also use DaemonTools 4 and i have
Amd 3000
Msi Nforce 4-f
X800XL
1024MB Ram
Nec 3520 (DVD)

What can i do to solve this problem?

If your running Windows x64, then no matter which utility / workaround you try to use to get SC:CS to work will fail. SC:CS simply doesn't work in x64 end of story.

An updated patch from the developers / publishers to update the copyprotection within the game to support 64-bit StarForce is the only way SC:CS will work in x64.

Course, if your using XP 32-bit then ignore all the above Smile

Well then, why do you use the 64-bit version of sfcure when you have a 32-bit windows xp?
Download the 32-bit version of sfcure and it will work.

It closes up cause it's supposed to, don't worry about it anymore. What matters is that the service is started. Now, you didn't say what release are you using? Cause there are a few floating around, and I can say for sure that the 4.18GB mdf isn't working. When SF tells you that the disk-key is incorect, it meens you don't have a proper image (we'll assume everything else is how it should be:sfcure, alcohol and SFNightmare). So, get the snake's release, then replace the mds with another one (I suggest the LeatherFace), and you should play with no problems. Btw, I think this belongs in the Protection bith'n forum.

i got a pretty old release,
the original file name is "SCCT.MDF/S"
I thought it might be because of my release is old but i don't see what the difference between what i got and the new releases...

I have a similar Problem. I got the working scct release and a Radeon 9800Xt card. When I install the unpatched version (shader 1.0), use dt4 and sfn the game works perfectly - but as soon as I patch it to version 1.04 (the first that supports shader 2.0) its not working anymore. (please insert into another drive...bla bla). Very strange because the patch doesnt update to Starforce 3.5. Sad Any solutions, does it work with Starfuck for example?

PS: There is absolutely no way to unplug IDE drives here - the Tower is damaged, I should only open it if its really important + the cables inside are so dense and huge, it would take at least 30 minutes to reach the Drives and unplug and vice versa

hay guys did u try to hide or rename ur drive in registry..
do following
START--RUN--REGEDIT--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE--SYSTEM--MOUNT.DEVICES--\DOSDEVICES\
and if ur virtual drive is H for example just modify like this H.hiden

It is highly recommended that you use the Itwins release. I also recommend you disconnect your IDE drives instead of using SFN.
