Has anyone had trouble with BTC cdrw drives and copying safedisc protected games?

Last time I checked, when I started used this website four or five years ago, it was a place where one could get some information.
His remarks were not necessary as all I asked was for information from anyone having trouble with a cdrw brand that isnt tested on elby site, and isnt mentioned in most of the previous posts that I read so far.

I have burned on three different cdrw's, I have tried direct 1:1 copying, I have tried the patches, and to no avail, I still am getting errors such as : Error cannot read file.

These errors have come at different times, but always with a sound file from the game, which leads me to the conclusion that it is the copy protection still giving me problems.

So before I install the dvd drive and the poloroid burnmax40 into my computer, I was hoping to get some accurate information as to whether it was even a viable option.

Also, I have the hard drives connected to a ultra66 card from promise, and the cdrom and cdrw is connected to the motherboard ide controller. I am going to take the via busmaster off as I am using the 4 in 1 ver. 4.38(v) drivers, and try running them with the microsoft ide drivers to see if it fixes the problems. Secondly, I will try to unhook the hard drive, and use it off the ide controller on the motherboard to see if that helps......

I apologize for being rather short in my response, but after working on this for six hours, burning and reburning, it is rather annoying to have a response such as his.........basically, I am trying everything possible to find or locate the exact problem that is causing the errors. The info I was asking for was specific, and reading the response that I got, I didnt see any attempt by him to answer one of the questions asked.

Sincerely,
