CloneCD + NO-CD + Fixed EXE's - HELP!

My CloneCD does not work!
Everytime i try to create an image - in the log every sector is an "UNREADRBALL" sector... My CD-RW drive is a NEW Memorex 12* 10* 32* Burnproof.

Can anyone help - At the moment i am copying the contents of a cd to a temp folder, and copying it back with a NO-CD patch.

And what do Fixed EXE's do - are they different from NO-CD patch?
