Transfering game to new pc?

[ralphmeister]

I bought hard copy of crysis when it first came out. However my new pc does not have any dvd drive. Is it possible to transfer the files from my old computer to the new one? ( im not worried about transfering saved games!!) and is it possible to create an ISO of the original disk?
any help greatly appreciated!!

You can clone your entire hard drive, if it's windows 7 it should boot up and prompt you to re-activate windows and then you should be good to go. I use acronis because it came with one of my drives, there are other free programs that do the same thing.

yes you can make an iso of the original disk--you could then transfer the iso file by flash drive or over your network and mount it in a virtual dvd drive to install it

something like this should do both
