ARMADILLO/SAFEDISC 4.00 NOT IMAGING

I have tried disk type as safedisc 2/3/4 and alcohol 120 tells me that this disk type cannot be used because it does not see a RMPS on the source disc. but when I choose regular safedisc, or safedisc 2/3/4 write emf, it takes the image. I have tried burning both versions, and they both have problems when accessing the backup copy. Some portions of the backup will run but like the image and sound data from the disc seems to be missing, and my drives seem to have difficulty reading the back up disc. Please help me! I didnt know where to post the system report so I will just copy paste below.

Are we speaking about CD´s or DVD´s?
Which version of ProtectionID are you using?
Did you scan the directory on your HDD (programm need to be installed)?
Did you try to install from the Image? Does that function / run OK?

There are 3 discs involved. #1 disc is the install disc. #2 disc is lvl 1&2(skill level), #3 disc is lvl 3
The lvl 3 disc works although I used blindwrite 6 for that one. and the #1 installation disc worked with nero burning rom. The software does not install #2&3 discs into the hdd, it rather reads it straight from the cd in the drive. (this is why I wanted to make a backup, because I keep taking the disc in and out of the drive to play other cds and thus scratching the cd)
The protection id was v.5.2b, I believe it is the newest version.
The software only reads the disc so I can't install from the image.
THank you for the fast response, I hope you can help me.

Alcohol 120% to create the image. Use here the
a. mds/mdf-format (that is our native formate and therefore
we support this format optimal)
B. use profile "SafeDisk 2/3"
c. mount the image

In order to copy a disk using the Safedisk 2/3/4 datatype( with RMPS v2) you must make an image first, you can't copy it on the fly( as I have the impression that you tried to) due to the need for extracting the RMPS data. These data are stored in the image and are read from it when burning it.

I took your suggestion and made the mds image and saved it to my hd which did work with rmps. However, after I burned the cd it would only play as long as alchohol was running the emulation I guess. So I tried burning another cd without the emulation settings only checking the middle "without the drive recognition" option. That also did not work. So then I thought since my image mode setting for safedisc 2/3/4 had been set to include rmps, I decided to uncheck that option and image again to my hd. Again the burned cds failed to work. I also noticed in the read cd setting there was the enhanced sector scanner option so I tried to image again with that setting enabled which also didnt work. However, on the cds that I burned without rmps, the program stated that the cd was not there and to eject and reload the cd, despite the fact that when I first put in the disc it shows a prompt to start the program.
I also wanted to know if you could clarify for me if my understanding is correct. Emulation more or less refers to instances where the system attempting to play the cd has alchohol or daemon running rmps correct? So in other words, if I burn a cd with rmps emulation enabled, it would only be able to run on machines that have the emulation ie. alchohol daemon etc. correct? In my case, I would like to be able to run the cd without having to have any additional software. Also, one of the admins had mentioned for me to mount the image. Does that mean to create virtual image drive and place it in there? that would only be able to play on my hd correct? Or is that another method for me to burn onto cd, ie. mount as image then burn the mount? if thats possible.
Luckily I just got a new computer last week, and each image reading process only takes about 17-20 minutes. I can just tell, if I had my old p3....I would prolly be very sad. I am open to any further suggestions and will try anything you guys might suggest. Also, I wanted to ask if there was any significance to the fact that protection id detected armadillo, whereas a-ray detected safedisc 4.00(which btw a-ray said shows seems to behave like safedisc4.00)
Just in case there may be some discreptancies in my settings, I will repost my system report:

2. If the disc requiers emulation, then you will need Alcohol or another emulation software installed on the PC you wish to run it on, there is no way round this.
3. Mounting the image in virtual drive simply means the image will behave just as though you have inserted a disc, it is to save you having to write an image to disc, sometimes the only way to get a back up to work is by imaging it and running it in virtual drive.
