Ok, here is the info. I have UT2004. I tried to make a copy of by using the CloneCd/TwinPeak/Alcohol mehtod. I used CloneCD to make the initial .ccd file from the original play disc. I took that .ccd and a .bwa file that i found at http://www.makeabackup.com/downcat1-60-titleA-10.html (I used both files as they were named) and used them both in TwinPeak to make a patched.ccd file. I took the patched.ccd image and used Alcohol 120% Image Burn Wizard to burn a copy of it. All that I get are coasters....5 so far. Below are the settings that I used in all the programs utilized. Please check my settings and tell me what I did wrong.

CloneCD Settings:

It let me in and there were four icons to choose from. I chose the first one.....write to image....and then it made the file. I saved the image to a file and then went on to TwinPeak. I did not change any options, or anything.

TwinPeak v0.2 Settings:

twin sector setup - 15
maximize image size - 710MB
I chose the image file made with CloneCD and then the .bwa file that i downloaded. Both of these files were in the same file. There were no options to change.

Alcohol 120% Trial Version Settings:
On the first window I had to choose the image to burn. I chose the right one and then it refreshed and showed that my Image file Information was:

Type: CloneCD Image file
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\Justin Lee Shaw.CPQ32204208462\Desktop\UT2004 Play Cd\
Name: patched.ccd
patched.img
patched.sub
Size: 710.40 MB
Session: 1
Track: 1


Session 01:
Track 01: Mode 1, Length: 299345(584.7 MB), Address: 000000

The next window asked for the drive in which the blank cd would be in. I chose the right one. Next it asked for the write speed. I chose the lowest one (8x). Next it had the write method. I had

Write method: DAO/SAO

and next to it the write box was

Write: checked
Simulation: unchecked

Then it asked number of copies and I had 1.

Then it had:

Enable buffer underrun technology: checked
Don’t close the last session of current disc: unchecked

Then it had in the background(meaning that I could not do anything about it):

Rectify Sub-Channel Data: checked
Burn “RMPS” to recordable media: unchecked

Lastly it had:

Data Type: Securom*NEW

Then I clicked start and a new window came up. It gave me three options about the TOC. I chose the first one:
“Keep TOC as on source CD, write until end of image file(recommended)”

I clicked ok and it started to burn the CD. That is it.

I know that this is long, and for that I apologize, but I really want to get this problem fixed. I also heard that if you have Alcohol or CloneCD on your comp that UT2004 wont load . So, i dleted them and still had the same problem. When I installed the game i used the original play cd, but that shouldnt cause this problem,Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You dont say what burner you have. This could well be the problem.

I am using a LITE-ON LTR24102B(1:1).

if that is the case then i could use my suitemates, but the burner has never been a problem before with things like this. Also, i know people who have had success with the same burner, so i doubt that is the problem.

Does anyone know any other ways to make a good copy of the cd? I know that you can use just alcohol and TwinPeak, or some people said BlindWrite.

Perhaps you have typed wrong but i think that for correctly write an image patched with twinpeak you need RAW DAO

See the tutorials for CloneCD and for alcohol .

I did read those, and i followed them, but i still have the same problem.

Ok, here is my issue. I need to know what programs (CloneCD, ALcohol, BlindWrite...) make Securom cause a game to not load. I have UT2004...yes a legal copy, all 6 cds.....but it wont load. The opeing page loads and then the program quits. I know that it has to be due to the Securom 5.02 security. I had the following programs on my comp, but I deleted them because I heard that they cause securom to close the game.

programs:

BlindWrite
TwinPeak
CloneCD
Alcohol120%
BWA Builder

I deleted all of these programs and then deleted all the files and drivers. UT2004 still wouldnt work though. So, I uninstalled UT2004 again and reinstalled, and it still wont load. I get the opening Unreal Tournament 2004 screen with the three logos, and then it closes. I dont think that i have any other programs on my comp. Please let me know what programs, drivers, etc. to delete. Thanks in advance.

Ok, here is an update. I uninstalled Ut and reinstalled. I then tried to run it with the original PlayDisc, but it still wont work. I think that it is cus of a driver or program that I have loaded that makes the Securom security crash the program. Any ideas??

Do you have the now obsolete virtual drive of CloneCD installed? It's blacklisted.
