Definetly the wrong forum, but until it gets moved, let me throw in my two cents. What program are you using now, BTW?
It sounds like you are trying to back up relatively new games. Your burns are probably coming out ok, but most games created in this century employ some sort of copy protection. Popular is a bevy of protections designed to stop the game from running if the Original Game Disc is not in the drive. Examples would be SafeDisc (created by Trymedia Games), SecuROM (Sony's piece of crap), etc. Making back ups of these games is useless because the band of information identifying it as a game CD is missing. In my experience, this is the number one problem with getting back ups to run.
However, there are programs that can run in the background and stop programs from checking for this identifying band. Depending on what sort of protection the discs have and what version, you will need a certain sort of program. You can use a search engine to find what type of protection your game has and download the counter-program accordingly.
DISCLAIMER
I really hope these are your games and your trying to back them up, because we do not support, condone, or allow piracy in the forums, or this website at all. Straight and narrow, catch my drift? So if these are your friend's games, or Torrents at work, I would suggest not posting back with more questions of the like.

Whatever happens, happens.
