Help,
I spend a lot of deployed (mostly to hot and sandy places). For obvious reasons I do not want to take the original discs with me.
I am evaluating Alcohol 120 for the purposes of backing up my game library.
I tried to copy Rome Total War with the program using a slow write speed (1x) and Safedisc 2/3 (according to your database this is the right setting.
Everything went fine - No error messages.
But when I try to run the game with the burned image disc. It tells me to "Eject the Cd, Re-insert it, and start the program over".
Can some one help me out this. Obvously Some setting is incorrect.
Here is the system report.

Did you scan the original to make sure that you have that protection on the disc? Make sure....

Have you tried playing from an image as well? Your burner may not be capable of making a physical backup?

How do I scan the disc?
My Burner is a DVD+RW that I have backed up many movies with. I can't believe it wouldn't make a CD. (fairly new NEC

Making a backup of a copy protected disc requires capable hardware. Just being able to burn the disc is not enough. You need to be able to replicate the copy protection to a point that it's at least recognized as an original. Not every burner is capable of doing this. Search for ProtectionID or A-Ray Scanner to find the copy protection used on the original.
