Has anyone successfully backed up the Half Life CD?

[cheeseranger]

I've been trying to back up my copy of Half Life and it just won't work. I've followed the instuctions off of gamecopyworld and it still won't work If anyone can give me some pointers it would be great. I have Nero, Winoncd, CDRWIN, Blind read/write, CloneCD and Diskjuggler. So far i've used Nero and CloneCD and they make an image, but my computer crashes when I try and burn it.
Or does anyone know how i use the Perfect Copy frontend for CloneCD? I downloaded it and its an .msi file, which i have no idea what to do with.

please reply to my email as i don't get the chance to check this often.
