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.
