don't know if it will work, but have you tried using SafeDisc 4 Hider / SD4Hide (available from gamecopyworld.com) to bypass safedisk blacklisting of deamon tools? seeing as it's necessery to use a hider when using a mini image it probably is necessery to use one when using a full clone of the play disk, but I'm just guessing, anyway it's worth a try I'd say
