Sector 214892
 

I just made a copy of a Safedisc v2 protected program. I believe Safedisc protection is used up to and including sector 10000.

I did a sector comparison of the original CD against the copied CD and the sectors are identical up to 214892. From 214893 to the last sector are different.

Any ideas?

1. you read it too fast

2. the last sector is 214894 or so

did you check this by hand? or did you diff the file?

Thanks for the reply.

I used CDRWin to make the copy with and since it was only the trial version it read/wrote at 1x.

I checked the sectors by hand and the last sector is around 311000.

How do you personally do a diff on a CD? I've used CDCheck. Is there a better way?

i dont know, as im not sure windows supports diff, and i dont have a unix pc around that i'm allowed more than 10 mb of space on, so i cant diff two iso's. by hand would be a pain in the a**. i guess the bigger question - did your copy work? perhaps (big guess) the laser got a sector off aroudn there, and all your values are the same, but with a few misplaced ones in the gap? just hazarding a guess.

Possibly got a sector off like you suggested. The CD appears to work fine and I'm just being obsessive!

Thanks again!

podun keeps it up....
