Step nr 1)

##### which kind of CD copy protection the disc have. If you don't know, search for a crack for that game and the .nfo file will tell you. The .nfo file can be read in a nfo reader or simply by Wordpad.

Step nr 2)

If it is a new copy protection like SafeDisk v2 or something else horrible (!) CloneCD with a Philips CDR will do the job. You could try the BlindWrite copy program if your burner supports Disk At Once (DAO). Information can be found at www.blindwrite.com in the list of supported burners. Green color means "go ahead"!

Step nr 3)

Some protected cd bacups are only readable in the writer itself. If you try to read the cd in other drives it doesn't work for some reason, this is usually harware related (program in the CD writer's PROM).

Conclusion:
Why mess with one-2-one copying when it is easier to apply a crack and burn the cd as if it was normal unprotected data? The work around is easier, but some cracked files and patches might contain errors. Until you're familiar with what works for your CDR use CDRW disks and spend 2 weeks burning and testing. Good luck!
