Need help with FIFA2002

I have burnt a copy of FIFA2002 but I cant play the game because it does not recognise the CD in the drive. Do I need some sort of patch to make it work?

Fifa 2002 is protected with Safe disc 2.
So you need a crack or you burn it with Clone CD
The correct settings for clone cd are Search for broken sector on
Read only 1x. This can last hours!
You get a working crack from: ####://www.megagames.com/cracks/html/c902660_0.htm

Fifa 2002 is a special game!

1. It is protected by Safedisc 2 - right
So if you dont have the Plex24 or LiteOn24 burner, you may try a copy with CloneCD and Amplify Weak Sectors turned on. As for reading an image: check "Fast Error Skip" and UNcheck all others. Read-Speed can be set to MAX without problems.

2. It also has a so called ATIP-Check. The ATIP is some special area on all CDRs which can only be read by cd writers. When the game is run, it tries to read the ATIP and if it succeeds, it will refuse to run (because the cd drive is a writer and the gamedisc is on a CDR with an ATIP).
-> Solution install & run the game from a normal CDRom or DVD drive (cuz these drives normally can't read the ATIP).
If you only have a burner and no other drives, then activate the "Hide CDRMedia" option in the CloneCDTray.

If you want to get rid of the ATIP protection, "crack" it as normanl with Unsafedisk 2. The SD and ATIP will be gone but the minor glitch is that during installation, it will check the exe and see that it is altered and will alert you - solution? - just click ignore and carry on.
