Ripping a "Compressed" Disc

[JoeyRoland]

Hello,

I was recently informed that I could not back up my copy of my PS2 Boot Disc - specifically, SwapMagicv3.3. I was told that becaue the disk was "Compressed", it would not be able to be successfully burned.

Now that finally got a spindle of blank DVD-R's, I figured, "What's one DVD-R to find out for myself?"

Now I usually use DVD Decrypter to READ a PS2 game or DVD movie and then I use Alcohol 120% to actually burn it.

While using each program to try and read my SwapMagic disc, I received disc read errors.

Any thoughts on a way around this? Also, please talk down to me... I am a fool

Thanks!
