Burning, Ripping, Copying

I have looked through about 10 or so so called "guides" to burning ripping and copying Dreamcast games, And I have to say that they are all absalute crap from a newbys point of view.
Firstly, they all use phrases such as "Now simply burn the CD ISO using NERO then Unextract the BSB with a GSD" I mean WTF does that mean. They are all written so that only someone who already understands (and so doesnt need the guide) can actually understand them.

All I need is an answer to this problem in LAYMANS terms. (lets see it if you guys in your collective Genius can manage that)-

I NEED;
To make-
A Bootdisk
and A copy of a copy of a game (TH2)

I HAVE;
3 Utopia related files (Utopia.nfo, File_id.diz and Cdloader.cdi)
Lots of CD-Rs and CD-RWs
A copy (non official) of TH2

How do I do this. See if you can make it legable to a Newby.

first of all there is no reason to get all sarcatic (especially if you are the one asking for help) second search the forum for what you need to know the problem has been answered in lamens terms in about 3 dozen diffrent topics

hey we should make a newbie folder and just toss them all in there, kinda like what Britian did to the criminals to Austrialia. =) oh well enough being rude. we were all newbies at some point i guess, just some of us know how to read and learn it on our own etc... not saying i never asked a question but whatever... blah... enuff being me, now to being nice:

ok. the CDI file for the Utopia CD is a cdimage file which can be burnt with disc juggler from www.padus.com, they have a demo copy there for 1x burning. its a small burn so 1x won't matter. as for Tony Hawk 2, read the CD with disc juggler into a CDI, burn the CDI with DJ. that simple. and the CDI is prolly self-boot meaning it wouldn't need the utopia CD, because TH2 was released as selfboot and anyone who can rip a game is usually smart enough to make it selfboot, (if its multisession, if no then you could prolly read it in CDrWin www.goldenhawk.com) to a BIN file. if you can't do that then you don't deserve to be backing up your games. theres a million faqs out there, some VERY detailed with little newbie terms for all of you. so don't tell me theres not. or i'll filet ya with a side of izod. aiight stick a fork in me, i'm done.

I am also new to this. Well, dc back ups I mean.
I have read several tutorials and used several
file sharing utilities to get all the appropriate
tools. I think I understand everything about
burning but I can't find the backups! I am
hoping someone could help me outside of this forum (via email or something).

Thanx
