What kind of drive you have ,what are your computer specs,what media are you trying to copy from? If you don't give details we can't help you,also when I want to copy a copy my lite on reads anything with no trouble.

Bad media.
Standalones are a little bit less sensitive on reading disks.
You could try it on another dvd rom to see if that will read it.

i have found out that it was copied on a 1 to 1 mashine

Just try opening the disk in windows and drag the folder to your hard drive..... If that dont work, you are well fooked and will proberly never copy it.
Even if it was done on a 1 2 1 copier it should still be copyabale as most use std burners.

Also have a look at the top thread....
Sticky: Can I backup a dvd backup?

This may be way off but it sounds like the disc is DVD Ram which only can be read by a few units. My standalone DVD recorder does Ram discs which it can play but can not be read by my Pioneer 105.
