Hi George,
don't believe the crap above
If you are getting this error message the game is SD2 protected. Had the same probs as you. So why this happens ??? You burner is likely not able to burn SD2 (don't be sad there are of this writers as yours, mine are too
) Some burners can't write some special sectors on the orig. cd, and burn them back as unreadable sectors (originally they can be read and are needed for the SD2 encryption routine). You can check that for you self. Just put the backup into CloneCD and read it out. There will be more unreadable sectors than on your orig. cd. In the normal case the game will start, the start screen will popup and your reader will hang. Take the cd aout the drive and the "Insert..." message will popup. In some cases as your backup of Alice, your burner managed to burn some pieces of the readable but not writeable sectors mentioned above. So the games starts reads out some bits of the encryption-code, and because your writer just have burned not the hole thing the routine produces an internal or fatal error (this only my suggestion!!). Thats it !!! Nothing more I can explain. If you are intressted in this protection goto http:\\welcome.to/cloneclinic.
There are a few interessting posts about SD2 and not only this crappy answers of I-know-it-all_and_youre_an_idiot answers as above
