Hi All,

I am interested in make a backup of my original RED ALERT 2 CD, for avoid possible losses for a long time. I have tried the following tools:

- Clony CD last version (with and without CLONY)
- BlindWrite Suite 0.99.0.1

No one of these tools have coppied rigthly the CD.

Anybody have copied it with any special software or tech?

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

PD: The cdwriter/cdrecorder is a Plextor SCSI 12x4x32 model.

OK, first of all get a copy of UnSafeDisk 2 (it's free, jus have a look around GameCopyWorld for a link)

Copy the contents of the CD (by the way jus do exactly the same for both CD's) to a temp directory.
Now ya wanna use UnSafeDisk to unwrap the exe. Here's how:

Gather all the dll's you can find on the CD (easiest way is to use the Find facilty in Windows and type in *.dll to find all the dll's
Please note, I found some extra dll's in the folder I installed the game to which weren't on the CD, so jus gather all these up as well.

Put all the dll's in a folder and put the main exe into the same folder (also note, the setup file is also SafeDisk 2 protected and needs to be unwrapped too - it's hidden away in the setup folder of the CD)
Now use UnSafeDisk 2 to unwrap the two files.

Replace the original files in the temp dir, with the new "cracked" ones and burn the dir to a CD.

Slightly complicated, but works all the time.
