I bought the latest version of ar2 v2 in January of this year.
Since my son was using it i thought i'd make a backup copy and keep the original safe.
I tried clone cd , cdr win , the blindwrite suite etc all to no avail.
This was on two different writers.
Memorex 12/10/32 burnproof and LG 8083b.
Whilst some of the copying produced an image of sorts none of the resulting copies would boot up on there own like the original.
Annoyed with this i then spent two weeks emailing different people who know a lot more about this than me and to a man i was told that you could not produce a self booting replica of an ar2 disc because the data had been pressed on to the cd and not burned.
Is this true or not?
I thought the original question was in wanting to do just that,ie
to make a self booting perfect replica of the original disc so as not to have to use the original at all.
That might be because that's what i wanted to do though.
It's all good stuff this though and we learn a bit more every day.
Charlie have you looked at the guy with the possible faulty Messiah/ or laser not reading certain discs?
What do you think?
