Trying to burn Max Payne 2

[embreeb]

I am trying to burn Max Payne 2, but I am having trouble. I have tried burning other games in the past, and there might be a problem with by CDRom drive, so I have been reading and writing with my burner. I know the No-CD key is available, but I want to make a usable backup. An old article on GCW said to burn at 1x, but that takes forever. I am using the newest version of Nero, but I want to know if there is a way to read and write from the same drive (make an image, insert blank cd, then burn image). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
