OK i am currently making backups of some of my game CD's using cloneCD v2.8.4.2 and would like to know some things in the settings so if anyone could help plz post replies. Thanks.

READ setting.
first 2 i have checked
Fast error Skip is also checked BUT in the extra options should i keep these settings?
read retries 0 (default)
Error Correction HARDWARE (default) or should i change this to NONE or SOFTWARE?

Don't Report Read Errors - Unchecked (should i check this)?

Intellegent Bad Sector Scanner - Unchecked (should i check this)?

WRITE settings.

Simulate Writing (i know what this is) but the 2 either side of this are not available to me.

Perform Laser Power Calibrations - unchecked (should i check this)?

Wait untill buffers are full - unchecked (should i check this)?

GLOBAL settings.

File Buffer Setting 2.39MByte (default setting) what i would like to know is can i hire this and what does it do?

All the ones with a ? at the end i would also like information as to what it does plz. If anyone can let me know i would be gratefull. Thanks for any help given.

The settings i have work fine for most backups but some i have a problem with the game jerking or the sound being crap (like its underwater) and patchy which is why i am asking about these settings.
