what to start with?

Download Clony XXL and scan the cd with this program. This will identify what protection is being used.

Now download Alcohol 120% and select read to image file. Use your cd writer to make the image. Select the appropriate copy protection profile from the drop down menu (the one that Clony identified). Now try to copy the game with this profile (for both reading and writing).
The ability to copy Safedisk 2 games (if that what it is protected with) is hardware dependent. You should read up about this dependancy in Vluka'a guide.

When you copy the game (if it's done successfully), then there may be one more problem to take care of. It is the ATIP check (again explained in Vluka's guide, if you want more info on how it works then reference it). To get around this you can either play the game in a non cd-writer or you can use the emulation function in the Alcohol tray icon called 'Ignore Media Type'
