when i first started buring it used to make me thinking i was doing something wrong, those first read disc errors can be up to like 5% of the burning and it goes at an agonisingly slow speed but after that first 5% (or when the disc errors stop) the process speeds up heaps and is then done pretty quickly, it is normal to take up to an hour or more. So just let it run its course thern give it a go.

To speed up the reading of the errors, download Daemon Tools and read its online manual and look at the Fast Dump feature. The errors should fly by in a few seconds with this feature.

ok i did what you guys said to and it sucessfully made a copy of spearhead. now the only problem is when i go to play the backup i get the screen (play, uninstall, readme..etc,etc) when i click play it acts like its loading up like normal then i get a blue screen saying error has occured press any key to continue, then it closes it should i try again but burn it really slow?

The blue screen is not normal. Normally if the burn was bad, you'd get a dialog box saying something like "Please insert the original disc", not a Blue Screen Of Death So, does it work with the original cd ? If not, it's time to update your video card drivers. You could also try that backup on another pc and see if it runs there.

Mmmmmmmm..... the plot thickens Now that we've established that it's not a driver problem since your original works, it's time to look at the backup itself. Try making one at 4x speed. You can change the read speed in Alcohol120%, and this usually helps with bad copies. Now, can you install the game from that backup or does that do funny stuff too ?

That's very easy:the MOH(AA)2cd(normaly)copy(manual) all files from cd to the CD-R or hard disc.

No-CD Instructions:
Install the game - Full Installation.
Replace the original MOH_AA.EXE executable with the one from the Executable Archive.
Play the Game

Yes that is the second option. The first being to copy it 1:1 with Alcohol 120%

Pro-Svet(SPB) what do you mean by "Replace the original MOH_AA.EXE executable with the one from the Executable Archive." As I am trying to get DFBHD to work as well.

gh0sth@cker copying 1:1 lets you install etc. but not play the game itself.

First of all you need to have Alcohol 120% to make 1:1 copy,check the copy options,DFBWD normaly protected by secuROM v.4,CD-checks and s/n,so Alcohol 120% can copy CD with that protection.You will find it when you'll start to make image from cd,the option below including that type of protection.



enjoy the game.
