1. I have a dual boot of Windows XP on two disk partitions C: and D:

2. I would boot to Windows on partition D: and install SH3 from my original DVD on partition D: only.

3. After installing and updating to patch 1.4 I would take the SH3 folder and move it from D: to C:

4. I would boot to Windows on partition C:

5. I would erase and recover partition D: via Norton Ghost from my backup image to the state before SH3 installation => Would that completely send Starforce to hell?

6. I would apply No-CD patch for SH3 on my C: partiton and play the game

What do you think guys? Please limit your comments to No-cd patch discussions. I buy original games/software since developers deserve it, but I am sick and tired of constant CD checks, Starforce, Whateverforce, etc. Thanks.

You cannot get rid from StarForce Protection since its code is written down in sh3.exe and in several dll-files SH3.
You can remove drivers StarForce Protection from system, but at start SH3 they will be again established.
Use NoDVD (CD).
