The games may not be fooled as they use *wierd* bits of the disk surface to
make sure you've got the disk (ie not pirate copies), and are similarly an
absolute nightmare to back-up onto CD-R.  Some back-up software (eg Nero)
can back these disks up OK by doing a complete binary copy of the disk, so
maybe this is what you need - rather than a file-by-file copy.

Or maybe buy a burner, and back your games up with some *advanced* burning
software like Nero (There is a lot of lousy burnware out there that only
does a file-by-file copy whilst claiming to do a binary copy), and burn
copies for the kids to use (and kill!) and then re-burn if they do kill
one!!

As a legal licensee, this is probably OK under your license - just don't
sell the copies!!!
