Recently i damaged my C&C Generals CD2 Disk, i have a backup on my pc, but when i burn it to cd and install it.. when it gets to "insert CD2" bit.. it doesn't recongnise it.. it comes up "insert Command and Conquer Generals Disk 2" i think it is something to do with naming the disk correctly, i tried to do this in nero but it only allows about 8-12 letters.. how can i name the disk to "Command and Conquer Generals Disk 2"????? any ideas??

Command& Conquer Generals (cd 1) is Safedisc 2.8.x cd protected m8. Programs like Alcohol 120%, CloneCD or Blindwrite Suite can produce working backups. The question here is what is the name brand and model of your cd burner to determine if you'll need emulation to play your backup. In the meantime download Alcohol 120% and install.

C&C Generals: Zero Hour (cd 1) is Safedisc 2.9.x cd protected. Your Pioneer& Samsung falls under the class of "1 sheep burners". Basically this means you'll need the aid of a ATIP tool to play your backups in your burners (ignore media type\hide cd-r). To make a working backup of cd 1 use Alcohol 120% and go to general>options>data type setting>record options and enable Bypass EFM Error. Burn the cue RAW DAO at 8x (or lower). Burn cd 2 (cue) like you would burn a "data" disc at low speed. Open Alcohol 120% and go to options>general>emulation and enable ignore media type and minimize Alcohol 120% to system tray\startup (a must) and play your backup in your burner(s). If you backup pc gaming on a routine basis then grab a "2 sheep burner" m8. Some popular name brand Safedisc 2.9.x killers:
CD Burners:
Asus 40\48\52x
LiteOn 40\48\52x
Memorex MAXX 40\48\52x
Sony 48\52x
Polaroid BurnMAX 40\48\52x
DVD Burners:
Plextor PX-708A
*Note*: Backups of Safedisc 2.8-2.9 should be played in a dvd\cd-rom

I have had a problem with Zero Hour in that I am probably the messiest guy around, but i stay a gamer by backup copying all my games. Unfortunately for me Zero Hour is protected and on the brink of destruction, and i really need you to tell me how i can make a backup copy. I have a DVD rom drive and a CD RW drive. Thankyou!

Hi there,
I signed in just in order to add this reply.
I've been following various threads about the
newer safedisc versions(2.8-2.9) in the last days, 'cause I wanted to know how to backup my
c&c generals...
I've got a couple of Samsung devices, a SW240B burner and a SD616Q DVD reader, and I believe that the two of them doesn't make one single sheep. I've followed mainly Shoey's advices about programs and methods to use, but I ended up with 3 useless copies of CD1: 2 burned with Alcohol (DAO/SAO & RAW DAO) and one with Blindwrite 4.25. Eventually I decidec not to
litter further our precarious ecosystem and bought a RW CD. I used Alcohol (latest ver)
again to rebuild an image (with subchannel data) at 4x speed (it took about 2 and half hours with my damned dvd) of CD1, and then I burned it on the CDRW at 4x in SAO+SUB with EFM
error skip. Needlessly to say, it worked, and
the game started with the cd in the burner (not in the dvd), no emulation on, and it worked on another pc also (final proof).
Don't know if it's just luck or if it's normal.
However, given the tons of posts I've seen on this argument, I hope this one helps...
Goodbye.

Of course I did, but I guess it's got not much of hw support by the reader; sorta trying
to have a blind read a non-braille text,
I guess...
Another DVD (LG, don't remember the model) took 30 mins, with same options.
Bah...
