Problems backing up!

[thekeelings]

After reading many post on this forum i decided to start backing up my games! I dont want to do this cause i've heard theres a new law out, saying you cant even make copies of games you orginally own! Its a worring situation but the truth of it is...orginal games dont last forever! And in the past i have lost games such as Kingpin, Alien vs Predator and Deus ex due to small scratch and general wear and tear!

I brought a pack of 50 cds and started on my collection! I thought it would be simple but i have come across many problems! I am using Nero 5.5.8.0 and Clone cd old edition and the newest clone cd with the sheep on it! I started backing up raven shield and when i tried to install it, the disc started spinning then stopped! Must of been a bad copy? So i go again! Its starts this time untill it gives me another message while installing! I got a message data error (cyclic redundancy check). I got this a few times now on raven shield and Judge dread! Also, i tried putting the iso into a winrar file and burning it has a data file but after i burned it, the cd started, i opened the winrar that was now on the disc and it started coping it to my desktop! It stopped at 65% and gave me the same error! Also, i tried coping just the iso to disc as data and that didnt work! I just dont get it! I have an ASUS 48x 16x 48x.

Any help would be great!

PS What does the option Protected games cd do on Clone cd? Cause i tried that and it dont make a difference to what i burn!

Please help me!!!!

Thanks
