Backing up SecuRom

saDKen · #1 20-08-2001, 16:25

Has anyone any tips on backing up SecuRom (Colin McRae 2 and Half-Life Blue Shift for example). I have made 1:1 copies using CloneCD v3.0.6.1, these will install the game from my DVD rom but will not run without the original disk in.

I have the following hardware:
CD-R/W - LiteOn 24102B (Firmware 5S01)
DVD ROM - Matshita SR8583

What settings did you use? IT is a strange fault that.

I used the settings suggested by ClonyXL:

Read SubChannel Data From Data Tracks ON
Read SubChannel Data From Audio Tracks ON

i remember now, some cdrws make a backup that works but not in the drive it was made in. The other thing that i heard was that some dvd's didn't want to work with securom backups (something like that) that may be your problem!

Securom2 checks for the ATIP of a CDR which can only be read by a CD Writer. So run and install from a CDROM.
Also, did you write-on-the fly, or copy to HDD first with your writer? Whilst your burner may well handle subchannel data properly (all 96), it's likely that your DVD drive won't.
So re-read to image file with your writer, burn it, then install and run from your DVD.
Failing that, use Daemon tools installed in the background and your copy will work.
