A different back-up method...HELP!!

[ottoman]

okay, so another step ahead, now have a mode1/2048 file.

Have loaded it into cdmage and then extracted a .tao file in mode2/2352 format.

This leaves me with a 2 gig .tao file.

Have tried to load it back into cdmage to make a cue/bin file and it wont have it.

I get a message about file being truncated if I load it as a mode2/2352 file.

If i load it as a raw file it loads but it is only 300Mb in size ( totally wrong!!)

any help??
