Given the vast amount of information provided to date, I would guess that it is a copy of a game whose copy protection has not be correctly removed/compensated for, and it knows it isn't the original disc.

It was nice of you to try to help. I read the original post and almost asked for more info, but I decided that I'm really getting tired of people making posts like this where they ask for help and don't post enough info to get any help. I just decided that since he's not a new member that if he doesn't have enough sense by now to give more info than he provided that I'm not going to waste my time responding.

You will likely need to install the "game" onto the HDD and then find a "no cd" exe file or a cd check work around. It varies by the protection format used in the game. There should also be a corresponding nfo file with the image file(s) which often contains the operating instructions.
