Read errors at 98 % while backing up Vice City

I tried backing up Vice City but kept getting read errors at 98 %

The first attempt was using recordnow max , the second time was with alcohol 120. On the second attempt i even set read errors to ignore but it just went on for ages reporting error after error.
The disc itself had a few scratches on it , but a few other games i backed up also had scratches but did not have reading errors.
Do you think it could be the actual data on the game ?

Its a strange one , just thought id ask , im sure plently of people have backed this one up and know whats going on.

Ive had to back mine up twice. Well the first time I accidentally dropped the backup vertically and it made an ugly bruise on the disc. But before that it worked. Heck Im glad it wasnt my original.

The second backup is fine and I had no problems with the reading part of it.

You shouldnt get read errors on any PSX, PS2 game. If you do then the cd is damaged or dirty. Try burning from a different original.

Lately I have been getting nothing BUT read errors on my CD Burning drive. I dont have a clue what is going on, but I always get an error regarding the Image and never the device. :/

Try cleaning your laser. Ive done it the same way Ive done any dvd/cd player. Just insert those laser cleaning discs. I prefer the ones with an audio track because they actually play while cleaning. While others just scan and if nothings there, well thats it.
