Yep, all hidden folders are shown (but shouldn't really matter as I'm copying the WHOLE disk directory and not just the folders on it). I just wish I could get a final answer as to why when you copy an original to the harddrive it is so much less in size?? Will try and use WinISO to add the no-cd patch to the image before burning...the image burnt fine by the way and was byte for byte identical to the original but would still like to be able to copy it with patch included...I understand Alcohol gives me the option of creating a MULTI-SESSION disk so that I could possibly burn the crack onto the disk AFTER I have burnt the image...is this wise as I understand some drives are not able to read these?
Thanks to everyone for their help. Sorry for dragging this out but I think this is all important stuff for anyone backing up any game
