you wont. since it has already copied all the files over, its not going to be in the same structure.

you will have to get or borrow another disk, and make the ISO off of that. that is only IF you truly do own the game.

No. It needs the Warcraft 3 CD because there files that are not installed on your harddrive. Unless you can find your original CD, you're out of luck

Yeh you cant make an ISO image and installation form an installed game. For one most games need the Data off the CD to either load, or process during play, two, the files are usually compressed on a CD in a different format, which is why 1GB games can maraculously appear form 500mb installation files.

The not so legit copy reason that Zer0s brought up is also valid...and I do hope that you are speaking of a legit game here.

In other words? Dont try, just go buy

Well, since you want an image of it, here is the download of a "mini-image".
This is the same image that i use so i dont need to put in my cd.
This contains no installation files, but it fools your computer into thinking the cd is in.
This is the best method because you can update.
In order to use this, you need Daemon Tools
Here is the link to the mini-image.
http://dl.gamecopyworld.com/dl_awpos...66.199.227.162

This will let you play if properly used.

Contact Blizzard, tell them what's up. They'll likely want you to send the broken CD and a few bucks in and he'll send out a replacement. At least thats how most publishers handle it.

Dude, I usually try to stay out of these things, but youÂ’re really pushing your luck here. YouÂ’ve made 18 posts and (and IÂ’ve read them all) youÂ’ve asked the most stupid questions that could have easily been answered by a simple web search.

In another thread, Anchi got blasted for making a comment about you, but I have to agree with what he said. I mean, if you have a computer (which you do) and found your way to PR, you should be able to at least do some research for yourself on the lowest level.

All I can say is, is that either youÂ’re really that illiterate when it comes to computers (in which forgiveness is granted) or youÂ’re just trying to cause trouble. Either way, you better clarify yourself or you wonÂ’t last much longer here.

Let's say you copied all of the files from the CD to the hard drive, instead of doing an install. You still can't make an ISO out of it. There are "quasi" bad tracks on the CD that are read by the program, but not by the computer when the files are copied. (eg. simulated track data 00 00 00 00 00 00 25 fa e4 00 00 00 00. The computer will see the inital zeros and skip this record, the program will ignore the inital zeros and will read the hex code.)

And as other people have stated, contact Blizzard. They will need the CD-Key off the jewel case (if there is one) for authinication and will want the broken disk.
