A Question about Starforce

Hey all, I have 2 things to say.

1st. I am new here. Yay!

2nd. I downloaded this game, Wildlife Park 2 (lol) , which makes use of the StarForce 3 protection system. In the .nfo there were instructions on how to install and play the game properly:

Code:
Install Notes:

   1. Unpack release, and tool.
   2. Copy tool to wherever you have the cd image and run tool.
   3. Look at your blank disc, and select that manufacturer in the tool's 
   dropbox. If you select the wrong manufacturer type, the game will not 
   work.
   4. Click patchme, and wait until it says "Patching done."
   5. A new image will be made called unl-wlp2_patched." Burn this image in 
   newest A120 at 4x speed using the datatype "SECUROM *NEW*" Also, make 
   sure the write method is set to RAW DAO. Make sure that there are no 
   checkmarks next to "Rectify subchannel data" and "Burn rmps to 
   recordable media."
   6. When you hit start, it will say "Image size does NOT match to 
   lead-Out recorded in TOC!
   select : Keep TOC as on source CD , write until end of image file 
   (recommended)
   7. Install the game and play. You can play this clone from all your  
   drives.
     
   Warning 1 - If you get verification failed during load, then your copy
   failed. 
   Warning 2 - Burning to the wrong media type than selected in the tool 
   guarantees failure.
   Warning 3 - Burning the clone with Profile "Securom New 4/5" or with 
   "rectify subchannel data" or "burn rmps to recordable media" guarantees 
   failure.

As you can read in the text, there is a tool included. In the tool you have to select the image, and the type of CD you are using. You can choose between things as PHILIPS 52X , TDK 52X, FUJI 52X etc.. I only have some cd's here, named "LIFETEC 52X", so I tried to write it in the selection field, which worked. After that, the tool created 2 new files, called
Code:
UNL-WLP2_patched.mdf
and
Code:
UNL-WLP2_patched.mds
. Well anyway, I tried to burn them as told in the instructions, but it didn't work. Tried all possible things with Daemon Tools, too. So I am stuck now.. Does anyone know what I have to do to fix it? Oh man, I am way to impatient for this : P

Thanks, BPP : )

Edit: Oh damnit, I just saw the other subforums. I don't know if this thread belongs in another subforum, if so, mods please move this thread there ^_ ^
