Unhappy SoF 2: Double Helix - installation problems after cloneCD copy

I have just made copies of SoF2 cd1 and cd2. But when I try to install the game it just takes a VERY long time, and it seems like it freezes a couple of times during the installation process, but continues again. The installatinon process finaly ends, but I am unable to start the game, says: "cant load cfg pk3", or something like that.

When I checked the sof2\base folder a couple of the files there where to small. So I tried to manually copy these files from the copied cds. And everytime I did this it locked up halfway.

Here comes the funny bit. When I tried to manually copy the same files from the original cds it worked.... even though they are all the same size.

Installing the game from original cds are ok, but I would like to have a working copy just in case.

My cloneCD img file sizes are: cd1 602312kb, cd2 764649kb
If I get the message "Failed to read Sector....." is that bad... can it be fixed..

When I tried copying with the default cloneCD game option I didnt get any "failed.." message

Can anyone help???
Thx

A bad copy was made - has nothing to do with the copy protection. Make another copy and don't use 'on the fly'. Maybe slow down the read and write
