Vietcong installation problems

I made my backups of Vietcong + the Fist Alpha expansion pack using Alcohol 120% with the Securom profile to get the .mds & .mdf files. I used a LiteOn SOHW-812S DVD drive to get the images. The media descriptor files I got at 1X, the disc images I got at 20X. Both discs of Vietcong and the first disc of the Fist Alpha expansion pack are protected.

After I got the .mds files, I ran BW5's tool to convert them to .bwas. I then used BWTweaker with the Securom 4.8+ profile to run Blindwrite 5 to burn the game. (No twinpeaks used here)

I tried running the game and my backups work fine. When I try to uninstall the game and reinstall it with the backups, Windows Explorer freezes and sometimes even crashes.

I know that this has something to do with the protections; in the original I don't get such problems. My autoplay is off.

Note that even with the original, I can't see the files (or if I see them, they won't start properly) unless I reboot my computer with the first installation CD inside. So, if I boot my computer with another CD inside and put my Vietcong CD inside, when I refresh it I can't see the files or they don't work if I do.

If you get that with a backup disc then you should make a new copy, if you get it with the original then your disc is likely damaged/defective and should contact the publisher for a replacement.
