Backups Unsuccesful

[yakoo11]

I have a Yamaha CRW2200EZ, a Smart&Friendly (4100 I think), and have used CDRWIN and NERO.

I have GS1.8 and am using the cog method.

When I select start games / without codes the tray is automatically opened by the GS and this obviously doesnt work. But before selecting without codes if I do the cog method the disc never boots, not even if I use my original game.

Any insight would be appreciated.
