If you want to make a backup of a game that you own, you need to have the original CD which contains the installation files. Simply copying the installed game files from your hard drive onto a CD won't necessarily work.

Understood.........evn i thught so but just wanted to make sure. But i have another question this which I have on my computer it isnt working anymore. I have misplaced my original game cd. When iam trying to open this game its asking me for some sort of " CD KEYS" which i dont know. My question is will it be possilbe for me to get this game working because I have asked a friend of mine who knows about it and he told me If i have this game on one of my computers he can get it working but he want to play smart A** and dont want to show me how to do it.

The CD Key is a serial number you type in to prove you purchased the game. You need to find the misplaced CD... without it you can't legally run the game.
