bad cd?

[coffin filler]

Come on are you being serious

Comon guys you should know better Nero is the only good burning program out there

Whilst Nero is a good progie for some things it deffinatly isnt the best program for backing up protected games. Ok as you more than likely know its not all about what proggie you use as your cdrw needs to be up to the job but id say its half the battle won backing up games if you you use the right software and nero dosent fall into that catagory .
Also as far as hitman 2 goes im not surprised you had trouble doing it with nero as its secuRom protected (new version if i remember correctly). Do you not use a proggie to scan the media to see what protection is used and then ajust your settings accordingly? I do and i have backed up hitman 2 using clonecd V4.1.0.1 and clonyxxl v2.006 so the evidence would seem to speak for its self wouldnt you agree? (Nero is not the best proggie for backing up games). Also id say you were in the minority if you have managed to back up the games you claim to of backed up using nero.

Also @ Porto as far as your backing up of spearhead gh0sth@ckers info is spot on but if your a newbie (and we all were once) and dont understand about read errors and Daemon Tools then why not just leave your cdrw and wait untill its done ?
I did just that when i backed up Mafia (be4 i understood all the jargon ect) and thats a 3 disk game and it must of took around 2 and a half hours to back up all 3 disks but its backed up now and works perfectly as a 1.1 .
