Newbie burning issues... please help me out

[mojo2185]

Ok... my bad... again
The same error happened with the original game. Apparently some of the files that should have been installed were screwed and that's what was causing the problem.

But... now i have another question.
How do you determine a successful burn? Example...
I made an image of disc1 of Mechwarrior 4... Safedisc old was the protection. Burned to a CD ok.

Disc2... Safedisc 2... made image ok, looks like it burned ok...

I installed the game using both disks, and was not prompted to "Insert a real disk" message. From the looks of it, my 2 year old CD-RW got the job done, somehow... but is there a way to be sure everything worked ok? Are there anythings to look for in particular? From what i've read, safedisc 2 is a pain, and it all depends on the burner you're using, so actually, i find it hard to believe that my generic CD-RW drive (which came with my 2+ year old compaq) worked.

Thanks for the info!
