What's wrong with the CD?

I have burnt copy of MvC2.
Unfortunately it's not selfbootable.
I have to use the Utopia Boot Disc.
I want to make it bootable, so I use the selfboot program.
(It worked with VS2, SFA3, Jojo)
But when I put it in my CDROM (Both DVD and CDRW) the computer reads the CD as an Audio CD.
There's no files in the CD when I explore it.
Is there anything that I can do to solve this?

What's wrong with the CD?

Are you sure it wasn't self-bootable when you got it? MvC2 is a pretty recent game, not sure why you would find one that wasn't self-bootable. But this is besides the point.

You said your computer reads the disk as an audio cd. Have you looked at any other self-booting cd you've burned? This may not be true with everyone, but whenever I try to look at a game I've burned it only reads "Audio CD" and when I try to explore it it says please insert a CD. However, when I play it in my dreamcast it works fine. When I explore the tracks using DJ and compare them to the *.CDI image its a perfect match.

That said, I believe what you are trying to convert into a self-bootable is already self-bootable. Theres no reason to have an audio track on a non-self-bootable game. I've never even burned a Boot-disk to try it, so I'm not sure if a failed self-bootable will work with the Utopia boot-cd. I would assume it would if the data part isn't currupt. If it can't, ignore what I just said

If what you have IS a self-bootable, try using different methods of burning or just try again

I have 2 drives (Pioneer DVD & Ricoh CD-RW)
Those self-bootable CDs that are already selfboot when I got 'em are read-able with both of my drives. (SF3:3S, Garou, etc)

There's only 1 exception with my DOA2. The computer reads it as if it's a GD-ROM. (Only some 'junk' files are shown, but I can still make copies of them with Adaptec CD copier)

The games that are made selfbootable by me are also read-able(SFA3, Jojo, Virtua Striker2) after the sellfboot process.

Maybe you're kinda right.
Since when I use Copydog (The selfboot program) it sez that the Disc is already selfbootable.
But when I view the CD with Windows Explorer, the CD's blank.
(0 capacity)
And I can't copy the CD with CD copier.

My old copy of Soul Calibur (selfboot) always hang before a match.
And it always skips the Intro.
But after I made a copy of it, it works perfectly.

I don't know what to do with that MvC2 CD.
Anybody got any suggestions?

Megalexxx is on a distinguished road
Have you tried to make an image with Disc Juggler and then burn it ? It always worked for me.
