Help Needed With Backup CD's

[steven07968]

Hi I have a samsung 40x cd writter. I have been making backup copies of some of my games due to my girlfriends brothers borrowing them and causing scratching.

Anyway, on 90% of backups I receive an error message at the final stage of the burning process, and I am after a way of creating a 100% perfect backup without errors.

I can send anyone the log file which will show someone who understands them what is going wrong or what I am doing wrong.

I would appreciate any help as well, thanks

I should have mentioned as well that I use Nero to burn the cd's.

What speed do you burn at? Try burning slower. What kinda game platform is it?

[mujahid7ia]

maybe you should try CloneCD, Alcohol 120%, or Blindwrite Suite as they specialize in copying games, even with protections and copyrights.

It is a PS2 game that I am trying to backup.

I have tried Nero (even the new version) and Alcohol 120% but both give me an error message.

As I said I have got a log file (*.txt) of what happens and the error that occurs, if anyone understands these then I can e-mail you the Nero Error Log of what actually happens when I try to burn a backup.

I've tried burning at 24x and 12x but still get the same result. Also my OS is Win XP.

the game is CD based rite?

try some sites like

afterdawn.com
www.ps2ownz.com - good site with lots of useful links, also search for "ps2" on p2p networks and youll find some useful docs.

Sounds like you are trying to copy a badly scratched game try repairing it with a disk doctor before you copy them also copy to the hard drive first and dont do disk to disk

[steven07968]

Games aren't scratched, I tried copying to my HDD but it just seems to take forever. Do you reckon I could do with a reformat or summet and start again?

What are disk doctors? And where can I get them from?

Cheers for the links as well, I'll check them out
