Need help with DJ error message - "the media is write protected"
 
Almost every time I try to make an image file out of a copied game, now, I get that error message... "Error accessing c:\x\gameX.cdi CD image - the media is write protected"

I've dropped the speed down to 1x in hopes that would help, and it hasn't.

What's going on, and how do I fix it? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you get this games. If you don't download them from the net but buy, then, maybe it's made protected by local lame-hackers with their babyish protected tools. Try to extract all the files from the disc you want to copy and made self-boot game by your hands. If it refuses to extract with some errors, then use Blind-Write (I think by this time it supports semi-session discs). If the game is not self boot, then it would me much easier making an ISO by yourself.

P.S. First try to re-install DJ (I advice to install DJ2) - maybe in new versions they added something agreements about protect. But as I can judge - DJ3 works perfect as well.

It's not the games, or anything like that. It's something with my computer, or wrong with my hard drive. I either have to defragment it, or I possibly even have some partition table problems - as I just checked it with Nuts & Bolts and got a strange error message.

I need to back up my hard drive, fix the error (which will probably mean reformatting it), and see if I still get the same problems.
