Having BIG trouble with back up copy of "The Sims"

[Demon of Sin]

I have tried backing up The Sims with Clone CD and CDRWin. When it is analysing the CD it takes forever! (approx 1% in 4 hours with Clone CD and similar for CDRWin). What is the problem with this game. Most other PC games i have no problems backing up, but this one seems to be a real chore. Help appreciated. Thanx

thanx guys got it sorted........................

Are u using your CD-Writer to read from? if u aren't do that to make an image file and then copy the image file to a new CD-R (Through Cd-Clone).

If this doesn't work tell me and i'll go through it in more detail....

With Clone Cd enable "fast error skip" & use your CDRW to image from.
