Problem backing up Shogun: Total War

Sam Leach · #1 07-01-2006, 06:29

I am using A-Ray scanner to detect protection. (It has safedisk 2) and alcohol 120% to create image. I set safedisk 2/3 in alcohol 120% but as soon as it starts making the image it reports ''Disk read error at: 400,450, etc,etc..
I left it doing this for about 5 mins bit hadnt even done 1% so i canceled it. The disk is not scratched and it installes and plays from the original disk with no problems. Any suggestions, thanks alot.

The errors are normal, just let it go, when it gets to about 4-5% it will speed up again.
The errors are part of the protection.

OK ill try to leave it on for longer. Isnt there a faster way of doing it?
Its up to disk error 10,000! is that normal (7% complete)
