How to backup Gothic 2?

Guys, I used CloneCD 4.2.0.2 to backup Gothic 2, but it does not work, it fails the CD verification BEFORE it starts the installation.
I have a Lite-On 52x/24x/52x CD-RW with latest firmware, and Lite-On CD-RWs are known to be good at making 1:1 copies, but...I cannot get Gothic 2 to install from backups.
Original CDs do work though.

There are other mothods you can use to burn your game, like Alcoholer Scanner and Alcohol Burning Software, for more info on this click here

The best thing to keep your CD safe is to use the No-CD Patches/Fixes from GameCopyWorld!

Well, here is the problem, I DID install from the backup ONES, and played the game just fine when I was using my DVD-ROM (it cannot read subcodes), and it installed just fine. The game dtected the backed up CD just fine when I tried to launch it.
Then I format, and now I try to install using my DVD-ROM and... it doesn't work! No scratches on CDs at all!
CD-RW does cannot install it either!

It ain't the cables, because I did not touch them, and it DID work fine starting the first time, but not anymore!

Alcohol tools? Want me to leave a 700Mb imega on my hard drive? Nah...
