HELP!!!!! Red Alert 2 I'm going INSANE!

[RichieRich]

I have read most of the messages here and still not managed to make a successful backup.
1. I have tried the patches and get the 'Insert correct CD message on installation'.

2. I have also tried CD Clone but it does not support my HI-VAL 2242 in 'Normal Read Mode'

Please help ASAP as this is driving me mad!

Many Thanks
