. I had a simple yet evil copy protection scheme that left the disk normal but the files on it were laid as such that it sounded like your disk drive was formatting the disk! Thing is this - laying out the file on the disk in a certain pattern took a specific amount of time to load compared to other patterns including normal ones. So file copying the disk destroys the pattern and changes the timing so the program refuses to work.
