    I asked this question a while ago and got no answers. How do you back up pc games so they are playable, I dont want my son wrecking any more games so I have to buy them again!!

    The best way is to create an image of them, usually an iso file or equivalent then use a cd emulator, such as Alcohol 120%, to read these files, as if you have the cd in the drive, but a virtual cd. I've used the utility to create the virtual discs in alcohol for a while and they work great, isn't free software though.
