I´ve done my copy with NERO (5.0.3.5), too ...
Simply let the CD recorder read the image and write than the image to the new disc ..
I´ve no problem with that and the game runs perfectly (with the nocd crack) ...
I´m using the German version and the english nocd crack ...
Another way is that one : Read the original discs with Blindread 3.x and write the image to the Cue/Bin Format ..
After that burn the Image with CDRWIN 3.x or another program which can read the Cue / Bin Format ...
It should work :-)
