PLEXTOR CDROM WITH PLEXTOR CDRW vs SAFEDISK 2.0

[Mad_Mudir]

I had a house fire on January 16th this year that destroyed my old pc. I am now in the "replacement" stage of my claim and building my second pc. When I last had time to check the boards, the evil Safedisk 2.0 was making true copying all up impossible, you always had to use a patch....
My question is this, in the issue of Maximum PC Oct 2000 they stated that the Plextor CDRW drive can copy ANY TYPE OF CDROM BIT BY BIT if used in tandum with a Plextor CDROM reader. Does anyone know if this holds true with Safedisk 2.0?

NO you still can't do SD2. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Yeah you can copy SD2 stuff.
But only with Clone CD and an appropriate CDR.

On a related sidenote I burnt No One Lives Forever (SD2) the other day but I can only read the first disk in my writer. Any one know why or how you get around this? (Using Plex 12/10/32A)

Hi m8
The first disc of nolf is not protected but it has the nolf.exe file on it the second disc has the protection on it this is safe disc 2 and unless you have a writer that write these sectors of the disc then the best way to copy it is to copy files of the first disc to a temp folder then replace the nolf.exe and the nolfserve.exe with a cracked version then copy the contents of the temp dir back to ablank cd using the same label as the original.On intalling the game the cracked versions of the .exe's will be installed and the game will play from both disc's!!.
