making backup copies of Diablo 2
 

I made a backup copy of Diablo 2 using clonecd and the instructions in the article "backup protected CDs". I installed the game using the copies but when I play the game I get invalid page fault error and make sure original CD is in drive. If I put the original CD in it works fine. My question is can you make a backup copy of Diablo 2 so you don't have to use the origianl discs or patches to modify executables? By the way, I have a Creative 12 10 32 CD RW which CloneCD states is able to handle DAO-RAW.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can make one, but what settings did you use?

It use s securom 2 protection!

These are the directions I used:

Here are the instructions to make a working backup of most Protected CDs using CloneCD in combination with a CD-Reader/CD-Writer which can both can handle DAO-RAW:

Create the following directory:
<TempDir>: C:\TEMP\CD
Create a CD-Image using CloneCD with these settings:
Set Read Speed to 1x (176 kByte/s)
Select Read SubChannel Data from Data Tracks
Select Read SubChannel Data from Audio Tracks
Select Fast Error Skip
Set Read Retry to at least 5
Set Error correction to None
UnSelect Don't report bad sectors
UnSelect Intelligent Bad Sector Scanner
When ready burn the CD-Image a CD-R using CloneCD with these settings:
Set Write Speed to any desired speed
Select RAW DAO
Select Don't Repair SubChannel Data
UnSelect Simulate Writing (if available)
Select Burn Proof/Just Link (if available)
unSelect Perform Laser Power Calibration
unSelect Wait until Buffers are full
Select Always close last Session
Play the game!

Thanks for you r mail, i think you misunderstood me and i misunderstood you, i thought you asked whehter youu can make a perfect back up! i answered yes, then i asked you which settings you used, to compare them to what i thought you should use !

Your settings loook correct to me but why do you put read retryes at 5 and error correction none .

Did these work for you!

What you can do is get Clony V1.05 and check what it says!
