You missed some vital information here - What burner have you got?

If you started with a CDI image, try this little trick we learnt over at BackBurner:

Convert the CDI image to Nero using the CDI2Nero program on www.dccopyworld. Now fire-up nero and select burn image. Make sure you close the CD and that writing format is set to TOA because this should do both sessions regardless. DAO fails. You'll get a warning message saying the image contains 2 sessions and you are about to make a coaster. Continue anyway and with anyluck, job done! ;)

Please send us any info you get or your results! Thanx

ive got a creative 8*4*32 writer and im not quite sure what you mean when you say "cdi" image. is that just the image you get when you make one on your hard drive?

look this is what you do.. i use disc juggler 3.0.. i know when i tried to copy a dreamcast game using both my cd-rom drive and the cd burner it will not work.. you have to use the recorder as the reader and writer. I once tried to use both my cd-rom and cd burner to record a dreamcast game but i found it it didnt work.. i do not know why it just doesnt. just pop in the original in your cd burner.. make an image.. and then burn the image to a cd.. easy as that.. i use a yamaha 8x4x24 cd recorder and it takes like 18 min to make an image and burn a game like NBA 2K1.

I tried copying using the same drive for Quake 3 Arena but it didn't work. I also got a audio track when I try to copy it. I used discjuggler 3.0. What am I doing wrong? It worked for Marvel vs Capcom 2.
