How long to copy?

lafam · #1 11-06-2001, 19:12

I've tried to copy with every program. It always seem to go to about 80% then it seems to take hours and get nowhere. does this seem right I have a teacW516eb. Its brand-new and it came with nero 05.0 so I know its compatible with that. Everyone seems to be talking about cloned CD and CDwin. I have them plus disk juggler and I always seem to come up with the same 85 percent then a lifetime. does anyone know if my writer is compatible with any other program other than Nero. If Nero should work how long do you think it would take to copy toy story 2.any other information on what I should expect when burning an image file would be appreciated. I know that this process is always a boring topic to people who already know how to do it But its people like you who get people like us interested in this and we all benefit.
thanks

Use CDRWin, but instead of creating the image just set it to READ the cd.
If it gives errors then the source cd is damaged and will never copy correctly.
Install CDRWin with the DEFAULT options.

So how do you set it to read the CD?

Does the CD have a lot of scratches or Is It dirty?

I noticed that on one of my brand new scratchless games,It copies great.

But when I tried to copy an older game from my large collection,that had a lot of scratches,etc.
It did the same thing,It would'nt go past about 80%,one Scratched up game would'nt even go past 61%.

So I've concluded that even though my PS1 can play those particular games,however the CD-RW is more sensitive and won't read properly on games that have lots of scratches.
