Still haven't been bothered to get any CD's so thought I'd have another go and I'm even closer this time!

I think my problem was with PowerISO and that because I only had the basic version I was limited to mounting images up to 300mb, now using daemon tools and managed to get the problem started but it soon crashed before reaching the main menu.

My guess is that the app has a built in virtual CD drive detector, do you think if I put the crack in the ISO file and then mount it, that will solve my problems?

only have Daemon tools lite so will need to find another program to edit the ISO file
