MS Train Sim. Disc 2 backup difficulty

[TheGrandHooHa]

I am having difficulty backing up the second disc of MS Train Sim. CloneCD reports that the first thousand sectors on the disc cannot be read, then goes on to create the rest of the image. Is this normal? Also, once I have successfully backed up both discs, what patches / "cracks" will I need to install and/or run the game (as I hear the No-CD on GCW is corrupted or something).
