i dont think so under all the samsung boxes there was an - unlike very few cd burners had the clone cd 4 icon.

You most likely won't be able to make a perfect copy. You could give AWS a try but I don't think it will work - if you want to try download Clony XXL.
And don't forget to enable Hide CD-R Media in the Clone CD Tray.

If it doesn't work then download a crack from GCW.

whats aws? when i right click on the clone cd sys tray i cant enable hide cd-r medial its engraved (gray) and i cant click it. what do i have to do?

You need to emigrate as AWS and Hide CD-R Media aren't enabled in USA and Japan. The Regional Settings in your Control Panel provides a useful emigration pass.

I just totally lost you man. I know where the imigration window is but what do i do in there?

remember n00b in progress

Change your regional settings to Canada

thanks now what do i do i have clony xxl and clone cd

gh0sth@cker · #12 28-06-2002, 12:02

Scan the disk with Clony
Start Clone CD through Clony so it'll pass the settings over.
Then give it a go.

But I don't think it will work with your Samsung - use rewritables to save your disks.

If (when) it doesn't work, goto GCW and download a crack for it.

ok i used clony xxl and it scaned the cd didn't find the cd protection though but i knew what kind it was and i set it to it, then i started clone cd through clony made sure i had hid cd-r media checked and started, the main buffer and sub buffer goes up extremely slowly, it goes to 9% and goes very very slow and it wont start to burn. Is this cd burner capability problems here yea think? or is there another prog i can use to do this maby.

You don't enable Hide CD-R Media whilst burning. Explanation:

Every CD-R contains an ATIP - this contains info on dye colour, length, manufacturer etc. Pressed cd's (originals) don't have an ATIP as they are pressed so don't need one. Most of the new games have a secondary protection to check for an ATIP; if an ATIP is found then it knows it's a copy. The problem with this protection (and it's the main reason why it's a secondary protection) is that only cd-writers can read ATIP; normal CD-ROM's cannot.
So the solution is to play the game in a CD-ROM. For those without a CD-ROM drive, then Hide CD-R Media is the solution as it hides the fact that the cd has an ATIP (works like an emulator).

So you use Hide CD-R Media when you want to play the game in your burner

Is the slowdown during reading or writing?

the slowdown occurs at first when i begin the burning process it tries to build up the main and sub buffer but it never does it just gets to 7% and i have 256mb of RDRAM so no problem there. Its right when i begin the process of burning. It wont even touch the cd i have an aol instant messenger sn of Shibbyboy 2k6 if u want to talk more.
