Yeah, but this is kind of related. Good enough for me.
There was 1 problem I had burning FF8's disc1: The fact that it was larger than 650mb! Forunatly 700meg CDs are now common and cheap, so making a copy of the FF8 game discs (and install disc) shouldn't pose a problem for anyone now-a-days.
LuniNutz99: Do what I already suggested: Buy your new copy of the game, and make copys of the discs. You'll be fine.
As for your FF7/Win2k problem: Expect it to get worse. FF7 (and sometimes FF8) just don't work with win2k. One solution is to keep (or reinstall) Win98 as a seperate OS on your system. This has the downside of requiring Win98 and 2k drivers for everything, and it takes up quite a bit of HD space. The advantage is you can play games like FF7 that work better with Win98 than 2000.
Personally, I built a new computer and installed Win98 on that, so now I can play FF7 whenever I want. It's a low-grade system, but I want it that way, because it will let me play the old-school games I like, such as Privateer, and FF7! (If I had room, I'd install FF8 and finally beat that game, rather than get to Ultimica, die and then rip & watch the end movies.)
