@ RINCE. Ok i will scan with killers scanner and report back my findings. Intresting that mabey nero is able to sort out Securom new when others seem to struggle. (this is something i shall bare in mind for future reference,if it wasnt a stroke of luck). Like you said though about a game being protected in one country may have different protection in another. Well killers scanner will set that 1 straight so ill get on it.

@ gentle Hope it works for you to or you get that bit of luck aswell


@ RINCE Update = according to killers scanner no or unknown protection. How ever i only scanned disk (not game directory) but i do know there is a over sized file in the game directory. This info any help ?

@ CD KILLER = if your reading this then just want to say this version is bang on and so much easier to use compared to earlier version i tried. (plus theres a pretty pic now aswell lol)

Nah, oversized is the traditional way for novalogic games, so that can be correct. Oversize CAN be copied with Nero, so it looks like your disc isn't protected with securom. Now the question is why Alcohol&clonecd didn't work for you, they shouldn't have any problems with oversized discs.

As it turns out, Clone DID copy Black hawk ok. Made the back up before trying to install my Original. when back up seemed to get "stuck" on 99% of intsall shield, i asumed that the back up was at fault. When i tried original, that did the same!! Stayed on 99% for about 1 min 30 secs, drive light flashing like mad, then.......game installed ok. Applied patch and game ran ok. Will try game without patch and will let you know.

That may have been the problem, i'll re-rip it and see.

Sorry taking so long to reply guys, Work commitments etc...
Nothing wrong with the back up whatsoever......Its Securom 4. the problem was the fact that i was running it off the CD Rewriter, stuck it on my dvd rom and no problems whatsoever...Weird thing is that i had clone cd hiding cdr material......never experienced that with any other back ups.......So the 1:1 copy is a success for me........
Once again thanks to everyone whop posted trying to help the muttster out

I have noticed when using clone to back up game disks with no protection many wont work ?? ie splinter cell disk 1+2,command and conquer (cant remember which is the un-protected disk) and others. I have no probs backing up disks with the different protections using clone its when there is no protection present i run into probs when using clone.This is why i use clone/clonny for protected disks and nero for unprotected ones. I know this is very strange and should in fact be the other way round buts its just as i said,unprotected games seem to give clone probs (I even found myself thinking that it was an oversight by the developers of clone ). Has anyone else found similar problems with clone not making a working copy of UN-PROTECTED games?

i copied the game to hd using iso buster then converted it to a tao image and burnt it with alchohol 120%. not one to one but no oversized filez and no problems burning. iso will catch read errors and i ignored them. would that b the cd protection or could it b its ignoring the oversized files that nova uses?

So, it does use Securom? That's weird, I have never been able to get such protected discs to run on my Samsung DVD-Rom, even though it took a few moments for the installer to launch I had no problem installing the game...

Haven't tried making a back-up of it though...
