Hi was wondering, how to backup the originals disk of Raven Shield?. I just want to be able to run the game with the copied disk and without a cd fix. Its cost me a lot the original, and dont wanna be scratched.

Here's a very, very, very old concept. Have you tried the search button on the top tool bar?

I have tried the programs mentioned on this thread (http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48133&highlight=raven+shield+backup). But does not work.

Alchool and Blindwrite says when i have being creating the backup "unable to read sector xxxx", and takes forever.

Any other program?.

Raven shield uses Securom 2.9 plus Cd check.

It seems you haven't read enough the FAQs.
It's normal for Safedisc2 Protection to have bad sectors at beginning of the cd.
Turn on "Fast error skip" to fast dump an image to your harddisk.
Or just use Alcohol 120% and its Safedisc2 profile !!!

i read the faq, and have used "fast error skip". But takes forever, all the sectors are bad. and dont seem to record anything.

Alcohol with safedisc2 profile do the same thing. All bad sector..

What CD-Writer/DVD-Rom/CD-Rom do you have?
Which one you use for reading the image from?

The bad sectors are from sector ~800 to sector ~12000 (max).
With my LiteOn 32123S it take never over 10 minutes to dump an image.

I updated Alcohol software and now it works. I get ~7000 bad sectors, then start to burn the image at 13x.

thx.

i will see if now i can play with this image burned.
