The Sims Superstar, Makin' Magic, and SimCity 4 Deluxe

[clrblueeyes]

I cannot seem to make a working backup of any of my following games:

The Sims: Superstar
The Sims: Makin' Magic
SimCity 4 Deluxe

I have been using ClonyXXL (v. 2.0.1.5) to dump to Alcoholer to dump to Alcohol 120%, then Alcohol's Copy Wizard to burn the cd copy. I haven't been able to make a single copy of any of the above games that works.

When I try to install from the backup cd's, I can get to the second discs on all of them, but then for SS & MM, I get this error: "Catastrophic Error", then it uninstalls everything it installed and you have to start all over by installing The original Sims again... and for SC4D, it just hangs at installation 55.54% or 23.55%.

All install fine off of the original media.

I am using Memorex 80min CD-R's. Brand new. I have a TDK VeloCD 24XW/10XRW/40XR & a Mat****a DVD-ROM SR-8584A.

Please help! What do you recommend??

There are a Backup Guide on this board. PLease do a search.
All three game you want to make a backup from, are copyprotected with Safedisc2. To make a perfect 1:1 backup you need a so called "Two-Sheep-Burner". Try searching for this term in google, to find a list.
