I don't know much about the dreamcast, but most consoles have some sort of copy protection feature so that you cannot do exactly what you want to do.
As for the burner, it could be a dirty lens. I find that to be the case, especially with slot loading drives and laptop drives. Most stores that sell blank CDs have a cd/dvd lens cleaner, which is a special cd with little brushes on it.
Also, do you still have the soggy ps2? I've fixed my share of 'em. usually its just sony's overengineering at fault with the whole laser assembly on a big motorized tiltythingy. every PS2 ive fixed that was the problem and it just needed to be re-adjusted to read the discs again.

Good info... I downloaded alcohol and I will give it a try tomorrow with the work pc. I just had some work do on this one, so that may be causing issues with the dvd-r drive.
I wish I had the dead ps2... It got tossed with the rest of his house (ouch). I may have a buddy who can lend me one for testing (hehehe). He owes me big time!
Supposedly the iso files from emuparadise have the boot info built in, but I am not sure. I will give the whole deal a whirl again tomorrow...
