i can back up ps2 games if they have not got dvd-rom on them they work fine with a boot up disk . but when it comes to dvd-rom games im haveing big problems also a bad head!
i have a matshita dvd-rom SR-8585 Reader
I have a hp cd writer+9001b
Now before you say read up about it i have and it seems a bit long winded + i carnt find all the software
there must be an easy way to do it ive just found a site that sells books saying it can be done with out a dvd writer but i dont want to shell out i think its about $80 in the u.s,and then find out it carnt!i know i may seem a sad case but please take me on board.

Well Tonytubs, you've got to read the stuff. For each DVD game that's been ripped, there's usually a tutorial on the web written by the kind person who did the rip from DVD to CD-R. If you are ripping something other than what's been tutorialised, then no doubt you'll provide one when you're done!

####://www.ps2ownz.com has all you need to know and if there's any software missing you could find it at ####://www.epsg.homestead.com/ps2page1.html .

By the way, the Hp 9100b is not really up to the job (I think I told you that before) but it'll do for at least 80% of the CD stuff.
