Hey all-
After reading all the many posts on burning CC Generals, I did the following with my NEC NR-7800a CD-RW Burner:
-2 bin and cue files for Generals, the bin for CD 2 is 795,000 kb in size
-burned both in Alcohol 120 in RAW/DAO at 4, 8 and 16x using SafeDisc 2 profile and "amplify weak sectors" both checked and unchecked
-with installation, the CD 1 installs up to 30-40% without any problems and the installer prompts for CD 2
-CD 2 installs up to 74% when I get the following bizarre error message:
"C:\EA Games\Generals\Data\Movies\Training_Final_00s.bik is missing or corrupt. Verify that the file is there" with the options "Retry" or "Abort". Error 1305.
NOTE: That it says that the C:\ file is missing or corrupt for some odd, odd reason.
I have tried multiple things in order to solve this problem with CD 2 including using Blindwrite, burning at variable settings and even taking all the files that were installed up until the 74% point, putting training_final_00s.bik from the CD cab to the correct folder and running the program without success, using both the burner and my DVD-ROM drive to install without any success.
Thus, after many many CDs used up, I ask for advice on this problem. I have minimized Alcohol in the system tray and selected all the emulation options but:
1. With Win XP and going to the Properties of both my CD drives, I am unable to find the option to autoplay the CD, it gives me autoplay options for music, DVD, picture, etc CDs but none for games or regular program CDs.
2. For emulation, should I install from my CD-RW or DVD drive once I get autoplay working
3. Is 795,000 kb the correct bin file size for CD 2? Can anyone tell me the bin file for CD 2 with a successful install?
4. Should I use CDMage and check for corruption. If so, what options/procedures should I use with that program.
Any other advice at all would be greatly appreciate. Thank you.

LOOK AT THIS!
DONT USE GAPS AND TRY IT!
YOURS! = C:\EA Games\Generals\Data\Movies\Training_Final_00s.bik
MINE! = C:\EA_Games\Generals\Data\Movies\Training_Final_00s.bik
note underscore after C:\EA_ !!!!!
if that doesnt work it sounds like a currupt image was it a download? if so cant help except use cdmage it may work!
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

Many EA pc games are rigged to "play" from the drive you originally installed the "original" pc game(ATIP cd check). If this doesn't apply to you then ignore.Go to options>general>data type setting>recording options and enable "bypass efm error". Now go to emulation and enable "ignore media type" and minimize Alcohol 120% to system tray (starup) and play your backup in your NEC. Open Alcohol 120% (image burning wizard) and load the cue file and burn RAO DAO at 8x.

For the datatype, should I use General Protection for CD 2 or Safedisc 2?
For emulation, I need to have the autoplay option on, right? How do I enable autoplay for game CDs in Win XP?

C&C Generals (CD2) has no Safedisc cd protection on the disc.

Just use fast error skip to read the image at 16x and burn RAO DAO at 8x. When all finished Open Alcohol 120%>emulation and enable ignore media type>minimize Alcohol 120%>startup>play the backup (CD 1) in your burner m8.

I cannot seem to find the DAO RAO option with either Alcohol or Blindwrite, I only can select DAO RAW. How do I rectify this problem? Or is it through a deficiency in my burner?

acecman:
I think shoey means RAW DAO instead.
I am trying to copy this game with the exact same CDRW drive. What a coinsidence!
Have you tried installing the game with the original CD and then running it with your cloned one? If that works than you have succesfully cloned a SafeDisc 2 disc.
I think your prob is definatley with the second CD and not the first one. The second CD is not protected. Maybey you should create an image of the second CD at a much lower read speed (1x or 2x) and then burn the image at a much lower speed too.
Let us know how you get on.

Morlan-
Do you remember the approximate size of your CD image for CD 2?

Mate,
I can tell you tommorow when I bring the CD into work.
I'm almost positive that your CD1 is a good burn and that the image for CD2 has been corrupted.. somehow ;-)
