you caused the topic shift because of your ill informed fan-boy rants about 5 star..
mini image of bf2142 is seemingly difficult, however other users have found a full image using alcohol works... (albeit the dvd version seems harder to backup), and apparently you also need anti blacklisting tools

try that thread... and you'll see that other people post that mini images simply do not work anymore.. so you're stuck with full image for the time being..
other people report that game jackal also works, however the image it produces is about 3 gig..
so i think its pretty obvious mini image = no workie...
