Gothic 2 - How to burn

[chrisi]

I know you're dead of all the posts about Gothic 2. But I'm tired of that too. I just want to know for sure:

Is there a way to make a working copy of this game without using twinpeak? Does the Blindwrite thing with the bwa and bwt files really work or is it all just fake.
I have a LTR-52246S. I read it's good for creating bwa files. Is that true. Is it likely that my burner is capable of creating a working back-up of Gothic or ain't it? Please share your experiences?
