This probably has nothing to do with the files on the iso, it will be the cd
protection that it is looking for.

This data will not be copied when creating an iso, just have a search for
copy protection or such.

The one good way to get your games to run without having to mount the disk
is to get a "fixed" .exe file from such sites that allow you own a "game"*
and make a "copy"* of it in the real "world" * will not supply a link but
some sites do supply these files so that you can make a copy so that you do
not damage your media with use.

If you do go to such sites then please do not complain if you see things you
are sensitive to, and do not even think of going if you are in using the
other OS as it is not unheard of that they might contain nasties.

I have used many of these though and have not had one bad exe yet.

YMMV
