Deus Ex has No protection? BAH!!!! thats Bull

It has somthing weird. I have version 1002f and am completly unable to copy this game. Its weird I can make the ISO backup with Nero, CDRwin, and Blind Read but none of them will actully record the ISO to the Blank CD. the recording software says its recording onto the CD but when its done nothing is recorded onto it. First I thought my Burner went tits up but I tested it on other Cds and works fine. I even copied all the files onto the HD and tried burning them, No good it didnt work. WTF is up with all this crap. Ive backed up more CDs than I can count and never had such a weird hard time figuring this out.
