CLONE CD HELP AND SPYRO3 URGENT

[sixtwo]

I HAVE CLONE CD AND I MADE A IMAGE FILE OF SPYRO 3. I KNOW THAT SPYRO 3 HAS COPY PROTECTION SO DO I NEED TO PATCH IT. ALSO I HAVE HP 8250i BURNER THAT SUPPORTS DAO. NOW SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT I DONT NEED TO ADD A PATCH TO SPYRO 3 IF I HAVE CLONE CD IT WOULD MAKE A PERFECT BURN BUT I WAS WONDERING WOULDNT THAT COPY THE SAME PROTECTION ON THE BACKUP COPY. ALSO IS THERE ANYWAY TO CHECK BEFORE I BURN A IMAGE TO THE CD IF THE PATCH HAS WORKED PROPERLY AND HAS TAKEN OUT THE COPY PROTECTION. REASON IM ASKING IS CUZ I WASTED 4 CDS TRYING TO BACKUP SPYRO 3 WITH CLONE CD. OH JUST WONDERING WHAT IS SAFEDISC.
