New to burning ps2 backups

[wolfie]

I'm not new toburning ingeneral, just PS2. I need to make backups, but have been unsuccessful in all attempts. The games simply won't load. I have also tried to play the backups on the pc using the standard emulators, but this also fails.
I've seen numerous postings and help pages on various websites, but none have been overly helpfl so far. Can anyone help me with this problem?

TIA
