M8,

you need to find out what modchip u have, also what boot cd are you using???

with regards to cdr-win is your writer compatible??? what version????

I use CLONE CD to make ps2 backups that way you dont have to patch them, but your writer has to be 100% compatible so check there website before you download, they give you a 21 day trail so make the most of it.

Cheers

Did you use a crack serial to unlock cdrwin? If cdrwin reads the game without errors then it should write the game also. A crack serial will cause it to abort during the burn process.

First, take Dal's advice on using CloneCD. But as he says, the burner needs to be compatible and for protected games, RAW-DAO+96.

Second, are you sure the error was on the burn phase? The words Read/Write Error occur in all cases of an error. Goldenhawk have not yet published a list of error codes.

Assuming it's on write, we'll need to know the following:
a) CDRWin settings
b) Name of the games involved in case they are protected)
c) Type of CD-R you are using (it should not be CD-RW)
d) The reader and burner that you have
