I can't get this guide to work, any help?
I tried both FreeLock and WinLock, neither worked. Each time I have tried and I get the follwoing message.

When Trying FreeLock

In CDRWin:
Error: 'START DAO RECORDING' command failed on device 2:1:0
Cuesheet was rejected by the CDROM recorder.

In Nero:
Invaild field in parameter
Could not perform start of Disk-At-Once
Burn Process Failed

When Trying Winlock

In CDRWin:
Error: Invalid CUE SHEET command at line 5
INDEX time is beyond the end-of-file

In Nero - When Opening CUE File:
An Error occurrred while loading the cue sheet file
'C:\image.cue'.
( Line 8 ).

Any Help Please.

Thanks.

I don't know what the heck your talking about but I did not Hijack anything. If you would understand literature a little better you would have noticed my topic says Need Help. You see that little period there? That's not a Question Mark ( ? ) I'm not asking people if they need help, I'm stating I need help!

The errors you are seeing, are caused by the copy protection technique (unusual op-codes in parts of the image). Sony CD-RW drives are notorius for preventing backup copies of such media. I'm sure if you read the FAQ for the software you will find that you need a select few brands / manufactures of CD-RW drives that will support creating (and copying of) such protected media.

Hi Mike,

I suspect the "don't hijack the topic" warning was directed at waingro36, not you, since it was written by Baldrick and inserted in place of whatever waingro36 said.

OK. But the topic was still changed from Need Help. to FreeLock and WinLock Problems. The reason I did Need Help. was to say I need help on a problem, I knew putting FreeLock or WinLock might detour people from reading it when they may know how to help anyway. I tried the latter and got no responses so that's why I went with it.

Anyway it doesn't matter, just don't like being accused of hijacking a topic.

But not a problem.
Thanks.

So are you trying to say I need to buy a new CD-RW drive just to accomplish the features that the software uses?

Man, that would suck.

Thanks.

I know that the error you mentioned occurs when trying to backup such copy protected media on certain CD-RW drives. This is how it prevents you from making a copy. So it would make sense that you would need a cd-rw drive capable of copying such media to create it in the first place.

Your best bet is to check for any FAQ pages for the two protection programs, to see if there is any mention of which cd-rw drive should be used to burn the originals. From there try a search in google to turn up any comments on third part forums like this one.

The following site has some information on various CD-RW drives and their compatability with backing up certain protected media:

http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_protections.shtml
http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_cd_reviews.shtml

My HP 9100 series (8x4x32?) cd-rw (sony guts I have been told) has problems with illegal op-codes when attempting to back-up protected disks, while my Lite-on 32x12x40x will burn a backup as if the protections weren't there.

Word of caution, though, i have no idea if my Lite-On can burn the particular scheme used in those programs, all I'm going by is what i have encountered when attempting to backup some of the recent music releases that have additional CD-Extra data tracks. Before I discovered that my Lite-on would continue to burn past where the error would occur on the HP, My technique was to just not burn the data track on my backup copy.
