Sam if you cant do this give me a shout on msn and i can walk you through this... dont know if your on my list at all.

ok since you want to play your "back up" of nfsmw with out the cd...
what your going to have to do is

Burn all the mds and mdfs on dics there should be 4 disks in total depending on what version.
install the game
dont press play
use deamon tool to create a virtual drive
mount the mdf from cd1 from when you burned the cd
now you have a virual drive where it takes over safedisk 2
but since its copywrited so well
you need to download safedisc 4 (sd4hide.exe) this file you need to put it into the game directory c:\program....... whereever the game is installed
reinsert disc one the menu pops up to click on play
dont click on it cancel it
if you have already mounted the cd
Open safedisc 4 from the game directory once its opened press Hide
play using the shortcut now of speed.exe
ok buyt be sure every time you exit the program you gotta press restore and close safedisc..

each time you start the game you need Deamon tools mounted which if you leave it on it will keep it mounted and then run safedisc and start the game
its easy but it seems difficult
