Selfboot problems with W2k and Plextor 12A

[Burned Up]

I am having problems selfbooting games using the SelfBoot Kit 3.5. I have yet to make a single bootable game. Everything seems to work fine but when I try to load it in my DC I get the Audio player. I have used Bin2Boot successfully on Virtual Tennis. CDRecord seems to use a generic cdr driver. I seem to get a little further when following the Exchelon instructions and CDRWin 3.8 but still the game is not usuable.

I am using:
Plextor 12/10/32A
Windows 2k SP1
ISOBuster for the extraction


Also can anyone recommend the best CD/DVD reader for DC/PSX/CDprotection backups to do CD 2 CD recording to compliment my Plextor?
