Playbackup And RA2

[crispy]

Once your image file is mounted, there is no need to create a cdr backup as you can run the game from this mounted image (which is of course on your HD)
There is no need to burn anything.
Creating a 1:1 working copy of SD2 is hardware related. Your burner cannot handle the special patterns found on these discs, so you can read it, just not burn it properly. You could try betablocker which alters these areas. Some titles and burners it works with, others it won't.
Thus if you're not bothered about having a cd copy, then just run from your image on your HD using Daemon tools. But if you really want a 1:1 copy, there are other options which give patchy results.
