Any ideas please !!

Name of the game is....?

The disks are engineering applications not game CD's.

I tried different CloneCD profiles all to no avail. It doesn't seem to matter what profile is used, CloneCD reads a small part of the disk and then writes the image all in less than 30 seconds. Obviously not a real disk image.

By the way my cd-rw is a Lite-On LTR12102B 12x10x40.

I also tried settings from Alcohol120% but that does exactly the same as CloneCD.

The best dump success was with DDump which seemed to at least read the entire disk. However when the image was burnt the disk was unreadable. IsoBuster said the PVC header was corrupt.

I seem to be running out of options.

Cheers..

Sounds like the disc is damaged or scratched

This is what it sounds like to me as well. If it is indeed scratched, try using a car buffer with a small dab of car polish or toothpaste. This method will do the trick for scratches. If it is damaged however, you may not be able to back it up.

Hi Guys

Both disks are in excellent condition.

They also both perform the same when trying to be copied. Surely this is no coincidence ?

Hmmm...no hidden directories on disc(s)? Those rings sounds a bit like those Settlers3 used (Vob protectcd) or maybe laserlok? Give protectionID or A-Ray scanner a try
