I'd like to add that it IS possible to make a backup, just not a straight backup. I backed my original BF1942 cd's with a non sd2 compatible burner. I just made images, compressed them with winrar 3.0 and wrote the resulting two .rar files to two cds. Usually the image is ~100Mb bigger than the actual disc data, which is why I used winrar to get each on one cd. If I ever have to get that backup, all I have to do is extract the images and mount them again. It's not ideal, but it's the way I backup SD2 games with my chunky old Plextor
