I installed it easily using daemon virtual CD and used a no-CD crack to play the game.

If you make a proper backup you wont need ot make use of a silly noCD regardless of whether you mount it with Daemon or otherwise.
To make a 1:1 backup of copy protected games
(1) determine the type of protection present using a program called
A-Ray Scanner (which can be obtained from
http://www.aray-software.com/ ).
(2) If the game is protected via
SafeDisc2/3 then duplication is highly hardware dependent and to be able to properly make a backup, your burner needs to be classified as "2-sheep" (for information on this sheep rating and to see if your burner qualifies as 2-sheep, visit
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/45121 ). If your burner is a 2-sheep burner then head on over to

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/36444 for a workaround technique.
(3) If your game is protected with
SecurROM then, even though it is not nearly as hardware dependent as a SD2/3 backup, having a 2-sheep burner is very useful. For step-by-step guides on backing up your SecureROM protected game, visit (using Alcohol120)

I pop the CD into the CD drive a little menu appears asking me if I want to install the game. Great! At least I burnt it successfully and it autoruns when I put it into the drive.

Autorun does not mean proper backup -- never has for major games -- never will

Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

How fast did you burn it? Try burning slower.

I'm strongly suspicious that it could have something to do with the fact that I installed a CDRW two days ago.

ASPI? IRQ conflict?
