FileForums - NHL 2004 patching

okay so i know when backing up this games u should copy the files to your hard drive and replace the dummy file. i have done all that and then i burn it with disc juggler but then the backups won't even load up at all.b4 the game would load and freeze when i went to actually play a game of hockey. i have made quite a few coasters but have followed the instructions from the other posts i have seen i dont know what is going wrong. i am using hp dvd400i with tdk dvd+r, i also use swapmagic dvd2. these have worked for all the other games i have tried but i cannot figure out this nhl2004 please help me what am i doing wrong?????
