Halo Back-up Time

I'm making a back-up of my Halo PC game. I'm using Alcohol 120%. It is Safedisc2.7. It is making the image and it got to 100% and now it is listing the infamous 'Disc read error at:' It took 5 min to get to 100% and it has been 2hours and 5min at 0.1x reading these Disc read errors. Anyone who has made a back-up of this game , did it take this long for you? Should I have shutoff the skip read errors option?

Using Alcohol 120% and the Safedisc2-Profile is the right way !!!
It's releated to your cd-burner how long it takes.
On Safedisc2-protected CDs are up to 12000 sectors (at the beginn of the cd) bad sectors.

With my LiteOn 32x CD-Burner it takes ~10 Minutes !!!

LG burner

My cd burner is an LG 32x10x40x. I set it to max. read. But when it gets to the read disc errors it slows down to 0.1x. This Safedisc 2.7 must be different as it started reading the errors after the disc reached 100%. Very Very Strange!!!

Do you try to read the image from the original cd or from a backup?
On my HALO CD [german version] the bad sectors are normal at the beginn...

Yep, the errors are normal for sd2. The sd2 profile in alc120% offers the option to skip this part quickly, but not every writer supports it.

Do this!
Start Alcohol 120% Software.

Click on Emulation. Then Extra Emulation and check the Bad Sectors Emulation. Click OK then ALT+TAB


Start the game with you original CD!
Quit the game. Don't push out the CD.!

ALT+TAB and get back to alcohol 120%
Then start dumping the image. It will now quick by passing al the badsectors!
