Once youve made a backup, is it possible to make a backup of the backup or do you have to use the original again?

(talking safedisc2 here)

If you made a backup that can be used without a crack, then yes you can make a working copy again, as long as you use a safedisc 2 compatible burner. This does not work for securom new titles.

Ya i knew that thanks, just wasnt sure if it was same for safwdisc. I kept the image just incase anyways

i get this this message when selecting safedisc 2 in alcohol 120%.
a pop up window saying, "The selected drive is not able to make real 1:1 copies using this data type!" does that mean my drive is to old for safedisc 2?

Nope, just that it does not do correct EFM encoding. Age has nothing to do with it, there are very old writers that do this correctly, and brand new ones that don't. If you really want to do exact safedisc 2 copying, then you'll need another burner. I would just use cracks or emulation (Daemon Tools/Alcohol120%) instead.

Thanks guys! i figured it out. i copied an image of the first generals disk with my copy of CloneCD. i then loaded the image on to daemon tools, took out my generals cd of cd drive and got it running without the disc and running online. thanks again for the help.
