Hi Verde,
This may sound a like a total screw-up approach, but if you have a VM
machine installed. You could make an mdf using Alcohol 52% (the free
version) and then convert it using AcetoneISO. AcetoneISO has a
built-in converter for mdf files, this will also help you work around
the first sector corruption that comes around with copy-protected
games. I don't want to push the following thought ahead but I will. If
you actually "own" this game you could also download a crack to get past
the issue. Usually stuff like securom, safedisc and those types of
protections will play havoc with gmount-iso. But as I said, you can do
the following like I said or find another way.
P.S. If your wondering about AcetoneISO it is in the repositories last
time I remember.
