Ok, I burnt all 4 discs and was able to get it installed. When I went to play the game tho it asked me to put in the correct cd.

So I read here on the forums that I needed a "play" cd and an "install" cd. Thanks to Shoey :) I downloaded a BWA file... renamed it the same as my bin and put it in the same folder, burned it with BlindWrite and it is still asking me for the correct cd. I followed the BlindWrite guide someone here posted to the tee. Does anyone know what I did wrong? I feel like Im so close but Im such a noob I have to be missing something. And this safedisk sucks! I have had no problem backing up unprotected games. The nerve! lol Thanks for all of your help!

EDIT: I think I know what my problem is... I probably got a bumb BWA file huh? Im sorry for asking the question then... lol

But now I have another. What other sites can you d/l BWA's from? I went to some of the ones listed here in the forum and I cant read German. lol

Sorry all

Most likely m8 as not every bwa file will work.
Are you using BlindWrite 4.25? Read the images of all 4 discs at 8x and burn the SecuROM 4.8.x protected cd(s) at 8x as well. Try this link for alternative bwa file downloads. If you're still unsuccessfull after 3 tries, give the CloneCD\TwinPeaks route a go.

hi guys. anyway, in response to your question, it might work if you use a virtual drive instead of a CD. alcohol & daemon come with virtual drives. just mount the image and it may work

Hope it helps

Using emulation should be the last scenerio when backing up SecuROM 4.8.x or Safedisc 2.8-2.9. I prefer (along with numerous others) to have a working backup on hard disc (cd-r) rather than to just mount the image, then play from a virtual stealth drive emulator.
If your burner can read\write sub-q channel data\audio, then one "should" be able to make successful backups of SecuROm 4.8.x without using emulation. I'm not against people who have to rely on emulation or play a pc protected game from a dvd\cd-rom emulator but it's my job here to teach nOObs how to make a successfull backup of pc protection to hard disc without the aid of emulation (if applicable).
