Help with RED ALERT 2 protection

[Freak!]

What CD-writer do you use?!? I have PLEXTOR 12/10/32A and my copy works fine. But I also had a problem with Installing it. Because I tried to install it with my DVD-Rom and it didn't work but when I tried to install with my CD-writer!!!! I didn't have any problems! I did read somewhere that this kind of games (SafeDisc) only works in that CD-writer where you burn it. I could be wrong but please read more these topics. There is so much to learn!!!! And forgive me if there are mistakes in my words because I'm from FIN and i don't write english very well.
