@s100ott

Themis is rightly asking you to try and find out what your laptop's cdrw make and model is.
Why? Because your Freecom drive won't be able to copy most protected cds because it looks like it cannot write subchannel data, or write in DAO-RAW mode. Since this drive is gonna let you down, it would be wise to know what the make and model is of your other one so that we can tell you if that will be able to copy these protected titles. The easiest way to find this out is to click on the windows START (bottom left of screen)/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/DEVICE MANAGER/CDROM. There you will find the make and model of any drives.
Armed with this info, we can tell you whether your other drive can handle protected cds.
Why is this important? Because cd protections rely on cd writers being unable to handle certain characteristics of a cd e.g. unreadable errors, special layouts, illegal table of contents, subchannel data, multisession etc etc. Every cd writer has different capabilities, so this is why the make and model is SO important. Even different models within a manufacturers range have widely varying abilities.

I understand how frustrating it must be for you if you've yet to acquire the knowledge you seek, but understand that we post questions to you for a reason. Those reasons are always so that we can help you further. I'm very sure that no-one meant to offend or upset you, it's just rather frustrating for us as well, when simple advice isn't heeded which would answer your questions so much faster.

Gosh crispy, you sure spelled it out clearly for him this time.
I don't have the patience that you obviously have. I am only willing to go so far in helping people out. If I see that they are genuinely seeking some knowledge, I will help out if I have time, but if I see they are just demanding something NOW, forget it.
Some guys on this board (Crispy, Gh0sthacker, Einstein, to name a few) always go above & beyond. Kudos!

ok listen to this one then.since all you seem to get is abuse....this is a combo of both clone cd and nero which will work on any cd rw..people who say what make and model is are people who make onr to one copies of games ..which in opinion is a waste of time..these forums are here to help,if you are a newbie it is hard to get a grip of it,last thing you need is some tit slagging you off....right here goes ..
1.using clone cd extract the game to your hard drive.
2.now usually you would then burn it onto a cd using clone cd.Fine if you want to do it that way..But depending on your set up people have had problems with clone cd especially with windows xp.This way will get past it.
3.You need a tool called ISO buster found at cd/dvd utils at gamecopyworld.com...install it and tick all the little tickie boxes opn the install(you will see what im on about)
4.You will now see that the image file is now a ISO icon...create a new folder on your desktop and leave it..
5.Double click the ISO icon (that used to be a clone cd file)and it will open up with all the contents of the disk your trying to copy..selct all the files and right click your mouse and select extract objects..tell iso buster to dump the files into the NEW FOLDER you created on your desktop..once done (can take a while depending on your computer)start your copy of nero 5.xxx
6.open your new folder and drag and drop all the file into nero..burn as normal.
7.ok..still with me..the game you have just backed up will install normally but will not play as it will ask for the correct cd to be used..goto gamecopyworld.com main page and find your game in the PC index..down load the corrisponding fixed EXE file/nocd to you desk top...extract the file to your desktop(if you are unsure what version your game is always select the lowest number i.e v1.0)ok the file you have unzipped will look like a game icon of the game you have copied..Right click the icon and select copy..Then double click c/drive Program files and find where the game is installed..Open the folder and you will see all the games files including one that you have just copied..In a BLANk SPACE away from any files right click and select paste..If done correct it will say are you sure you want to overwright a file with the same file name,selct yes...The game will work with no cd and this is your first step into the big world of cracking..This method is a long way round but if you have problems with clone cd and nero will not back it up although the new versionwill do this will work.....
ALL IT TAKES IS SOMEONE TO WRITE SOME HELP NOTES SO YOU GET THE BASICS.OTHER MEMBERS HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER MEMBERS BEEN NOTHING MORE THE WHINGERS AND NOT HELPING.UNLESS YOU ARE BORN WITH THE MATRIX UP YOUR ARSE REMEMBER WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED OUT AND DONT BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE

There are many newbies here that don't explain their problems well and they get complxed,this way we understand that they have another problem that is not so basic....this way we consider that the man that posted the topic knows the basics as he posts a really complicated problem.se,it's not always the fault of the replier but also the fault of the starter of the topic.
