Safedisc with Toshiba DVD and Acer CDRW

[DrunkenMaster]

Hey everyone, for the past few days, I've been trying to backup a copy of my favorite game, AOE2, ever since my brother hid it, I don't want him to do it again. I've been reading into this safedisc stuff and I have Easy CD Creator, and It will not allow me to copy it. I tried copying the cd to the harddrive then burning it from the hard drive and it worked, but when I try to play the game off that cd, it says it can't read the cd. Then I downloaded Blindread and Blindwrite and Blindread worked, but it said the projected time was 8 hours!!! So my question is, is there anyway to do this an easier way?? I read about stuff like unsafedisc and daemon-tools, which you use to dump the cd out on the hard drive, do something to it and then put it back on a cd.. how does that work? Please help, thanks!
