Burning CD Without Closing CD

[kooblu]

i'm using CloneCd right now but it seems to close the Cd all the time. doesn't seem like there is an option not to close Cd.

i would like not to close the Cd so i can maybe add the No-Cd/EXE crack file onto the copied Cd afterwards.

1. is there a way doing this with/without CloneCD? or another program that has this option?

2. i was thinking of copying onto a rewritable disc first along with the crack file then use CloneCD onto cdr.
but then again, can a rewritable disc be closed like a cdr though?
don't want to close a rewritable cuz i would like to reuse that disc again.

CloneCd is for cloning a disc. So your backup will be closed.
To get what you want, copy all files and folders from the disc to directory on your hd. Add the crack and burn it with nero. In Nero you can choose to not close the disc.

CD-RW: Also when you close the disc, you can delete it !!!

i tried using nero to copy an encrypted cd but doesn't work, keeps on giving me a read error.

i even tried copying all the files from the cd to my hard drive but gives me errors too, saying it can't read file.....so nero is no good.

Which game you try to backup ?

GTA 3.

GTA3 is very easy to copy:

- make a dir "GTA3BACKUP" on your HD
- make dirs CD1 and CD2 in this dir
- make dir "CRACK" in the CD1-Dir or/and CD2-Dir
- open Windows Explorer
- click on EXTRAS / OPTIONS
- click on the second TAB (in german "Ansicht")
- scroll down and check "Show all files and dirs"
- copy all files from CD1 to the CD1-Dir
- copy all files from CD2 to the CD2-Dir
- download the V1.1 patch from the official site
- install the game
- install the patch
- copy the GTA3.EXE from the installed game to the CRACK-Dir(s)
- start NERO, add the files and dirs from the CD1 dir
- name the CD "GTA_III"
- burn it !
- NERO: New CD
- add all files from CD2 dir
- name the CD "GTA_Audio"
- burn it !

DONE
