Vertical Hold Problem - and a question

[Nirmal_01]

Hello All,

This is my first post. After browsing quite a bit through the forum, I've been unable to resolve my problem.

First, I know you like to see the specs of the CD Writer I'm using:

HP CD Writer + 9100

and I'm currently writing to Memorex Black CD-R.

I've made backups of a lot of my games before, so I wouldn't say I'm a newbie, more like an intermediate burner.

The Problems:

1) When trying to back-up Harry Potter for the PS1, I get a vertical roll on the burned copy. I found a "license" patch, and integrated it using ppf-o-matic with the image copied using CDRWIN. No luck, but I have a nice new coaster for my beer.

2) When trying to back-up Spiderman (1) for the PS1, I can't even get the image to copy to my HD. I downloaded the latest ClonyXL, but it was in German (despite the English label), so I downloaded an older version. Using ClonyXL, I scanned the Spiderman disc and it appeared to discover the problem. I pressed "copy" and it opened my copy of CloneCD and attempted once again to copy the image to my HD. Once again, I got the error of "unreadable data" in a sector.

I'd really like to back these games up, so any help given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
