problem with gta san andreas back up

[drisky9]

i've recently backed up my san andreas, the game works fine but every so often i get a black screen saying 'problem reading san andreas disc' and then it'll start playing again - i've tried backing this up a couple of times on different discs and different software but each one does the same - any ideas? this can be really frustrating i can be in the middle of doing something then this screen will come up and next i know i've been busted!!!!please help.

what chip are you using? what version ps2 is it? and what medias have you tried?

i'm using a magic slide (not the best option i know but it works for me), v8 and i'm using 4x dvd-r's ritek g04 discs - i've also got some new 8x dvd-r L23 dye discs but it's doing the same on these too. tried using alcohol 120%, dvd decryter and clone. totally confused as everything else i've done using the same method is fine except for this one and shark tale
