UT2003 - an oldie but still giving me jip
 

I know that with the latest patch you no longer need the cd but I would still like to make a copy of the cds which I can install from.

I don't have nero but wheteher using CloneCD or Roxio cd creator I keep getting cd read errors while installing from any copies I make. I've tried using the settings for secureRom new suggested by ClonyXXL but this doesn't help. The Orig disks install ok. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated - could it be my writer ( a memorex 24MAXX).

Thanks in advance,

Try changing the READ speed in the clonecd profiles, preferably to 4x or lower. This will greatly reduce the chances of read errors. Also, google for CDMage, this is a great little util to check images for errors before you write them on cdrs.

Thanks Rincewind - I'll give that a try. All the help you need, faster than fed ex. thats why I love this forum.

If it still wont work....

1. make a TEMP dir on your hd
2. make three dirs in this temp-dir, each one with the name of one of the cds
3. copy all contents of the cds the their dir
4. put the latest patch in a "Patch"-dir in the dir of CD1
5. burn the stuff using the same cd label like the originals
6. install the game from your backups
7. after installation / before start playing - install the patch from cd1
