Hey. This is my first time posting on this board, cause i just looked at it for no real reason, just bored. But I couldn't sit idly by and not contribute with people having so many problems. To answer a few questions:
- It is ALWAYS better to write at slower speeds. DO not write over 4x otherwise you'll probably make a coaster. I have always been told to just burn at 1x, but I usually do at 2x and it works fine. Don't get all crazy burning at 12x or 16x or even 8x, cause its not good.
- For images ending in .cdi use Disc Juggler. I recommend using the newest version available at www.padus.com since everything after version 3.00.750-FTU is backwards compatible, and will work with all DJ 2.xx.xx images, which most backup dc iso's are.
- You can use nero as well, whatever works better, just make sure the image ends in either .nrg or.nri <---I think thats what the other one is...or .iso which can pretty much be used with any type of burning software.
- For Disc Juggler use these settings: under advanced choose Mode 1, set the block size to 2362 (set manually) and TOC set to CD-ROM. leave everything else alone, make sure you have your image loaded (if you can't do this then just give up) and then either test and write or just write. I usually just write, but do whatever you want. And MAKE SURE TO SET YOUR SPEED DOWN TO ABOUT 2x, 4x if you want to take a chance.
- Other than that I don't know what else to say, I didn't know there were people still haveing trouble w/backups....but I was a newbie once too...
