Burning a copy protected game

I'm trying to burn copies of Raven Shield and Athena Sword because ironically I have legit cd keys, but I don't have the game cd's so I'm borrowing a friends to play.

He wants them back and I want to still be able to play...Nero keeps getting unrecoverable read errors. Anyone know of a way to get around it?

I want the actual cd's though, not just a no cd crack.

Download the game and burn it - probably the fastest/easiest way.

use DVDshrink to decode it and then reburn it. Easy.

Copy entire contents of CD into a folder on your desktop. Download the no-cd crack from gamecopyworld and add it to the folder with the game files (which you created on your desktop, I usually put the crack in a separate folder called crack). Open up Nero, don't use the CD Copy option, use the Data option. In the right hand window of Nero, it will have named the CD as NEW. What you want to do is rename it to the EXACT name the original CD's have. For instance, if the name of the original cd is called RAVEN_SHIELD, you want to rename to match it exactly. Try that, i've usually had pretty good luck burning CD's that way. But, if it has a recent type of copy protection, it might be easier to just download it.

What happens if you rip the disc to ISO and then mount the ISO? Can you play that way? If so then at least it's not the read process that's causing the problem.

It's the read process. I can't even rip it or extract a track.
