Copying Protected CD

I have several games, purchased, that require that a CD be in the PC to
run the game. I have grand children who play these games, as do I, who
are kind of rough on the CD's. I would like to make copies but have been
frustrated in doing so. I used CDPD to determine the type of protection,
it says no protection but it is Overburn. I am using Alcohol 120% to
copy, have tried both Copy and Image options. Both seem to copy the CD
with no problems but the copy will not allow the game to be played. I
noticed that there are a lot of options in Alcohol but haven't a clue of
what to select. Can anyone help?

I had the same problem with Doom 3, tried to make copies in a friend's
Athlon with clone cd, without success.Someone told me to select the right
settings, but he wasn't more specific.In the end, I ended having the doom 3
cd all the time in the cd rom drive, so that it doesn't get scratched with
inserting and ejecting.

Thanks for the reply Dimitrios, I am playing Battlefield 1942 and the
Star Wars Battlefront. I also had this problem with Call of Duty but
found a No CD hack that solved that problem. Wish I could figure out the
correct settings for Alcohol 120%, it's supposed to be able to copy any
CD but so far I have just made a bunch of coasters!

Dimitrios,

Just took a second look at your location and realized I was staying in
that port while we were running sonar tests from a ship in the Med.
Great town, had a good time when we were in port. I too am a electronis
engineer, radar and sonar stuff.
