[I] Init cd/dvd sector scan for Drive O
Failure Retrieving Cd/Dvd geometry.. aborted

(from protection id - sector scan)
i can only agree with you on this, that image is a very bad one...
(mounted in daemon tools advanced.... dont think that matters though)..
it does however have sector 16, containing safedisc (from the looks of it) data.. however there is also NO table of contents... at best the disk has a signature, so if it works it just means safedisc is worse than i thought (most protections at least try and get the volume information / disk geometry... which would fail in this case)...
my honest opinion is that getting this image to work is probably more hassle than its worth, and making your own mini image might be the best alternative, from the looks of things poseden in this case patched far too many bits out...
/me is going to update protection id now to 'assume' a typical sector geometry if the geometry check fails...
hmm, correction .. looks like it was securom (should have checked the top of the url in the link you supplied...)
and i scanned the wrong damned drive last time (Q and O look so similar when you're half asleep)...
I] Init cd/dvd sector scan for Drive Q
[!] Disc Protection: SecuROM Signature v 4.85/5/7 (or higher) (DVD)
- Scan Took : 0.828 Second(s)
so the sector information is readable, however the disk itself isn't accessible in explorer, command prompt etc..
and if i click it in explorer i get the 'please insert disk...' messagebox...
so the protection check might work, no toc on the disk, so its anyones guess really... if it works successfully
and every time i'd be very very surprised...
the problem is not everyone can check these mini/maxi images and some people report it works for them, when
it doesn't work for others... and we can't exactly 'validate' their claims
