FileForums - Need help making a .bin\.cue combo image selfbootable using echelon

I now have 4 coasters because of this damn bin\cue files, however I think I am close to figuring this thing out.
When using echelon, do you have to have an original utopia version game before you can burn. Anyhow, what's the best program for extracting game data files from a .bin file. I used isobuster and I only got 166MB worth of data from a 650MB .bin file. Then I decided to continue and followed echelon successfully until I decided to make the "data.iso". Everything seemed to work successfully in DOS, but when I #####ed the .iso file, it was only like 32KB large.

So i need to know how to fully extract all game data files from a .bin or .iso and how to successfully burn a selfbootable. I tried converting the .bin to an .iso using CDRWin, and then tried patching the hacked IP.BIN using ipinsert. Then I burned the .iso using fireburner and then game was unsuccessful.

Please Help, I'm using a Philips burner and Memorex 700mb CDR's.
Thnx
