Backing up protected CDs

[live4ever]

I'm having trouble backing up some CDs both Toast 6.05 and Disk Utility give I/O errors so I guess the discs are protected somehow. They are hybrid PC/Mac if that makes any difference.

Hrm. Need more info

It's been years since I heard of copy protection on Mac software. You sure Toast cannot make a disk image of the CD?

If these are CDs with two sessions on them, on in one of those Windows formats, and the other in HFS+, I think Toast will automatically copy only the first session. You'll need to rebuild this multisession CD ... it's easy. Make two folders in Finder .. Copy all the contents from one session into one folder and the contents of the other session into the second folder. Burn these folders in a multisession Toast data CD project.

When you insert a disc with multiple sessions, Mac OS X will mount these sessions as separate CD icons.

I'm using my IBM now, and found out they had Safedisc2 protection I'll see if I can get it to work.

Is there a Mac way though?
