I've searched and searched
 

I know this must be fairly easy, but I cannot find it:

I am trying to make a backup copy of Win98se and both Alcohol120% and CloneCD are reporting errors at about 82% of the reading of the disc.

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks!

sounds like there is a problem with the disc try using a scratch remover

That's kinda what I was hoping, although I have tried the "furniture polish" scratch remover which usually works, but I had no luck with that...

Any ideas other than buying a commercial scratch remover? I've never hda ot get one so I don't even know what to look for.

i hear dvd doctor is a good scratch remover

98se has no protection. any prog will copy it. I once had the same error because of a bad memory chip.
