I'm trying to backup Disk 1 of Sims2 pc, (SafeDisk2), with a Sony DVD +/- RW D56A burner, (Liteon sosw-852s).

This is my first attempt to backup a protected cd. I'm sick of replacing my kids Sims2 game, just trying to backup disk 1 which takes all the abuse since it's needed to begin each session.

I get multiple "Read Data Examination Error" messages, then the errors stop and the image completes rather quickly. The image burns seemingly well to a CD-R, (I slowed the write speed to 4x)but when prompted for the disk to begin the game, it won't work, no error messages just a delay & the "Encountered Problem.....send - don't send..." message.....

Datatype set to SafeDisk 2/3, Clone CD option used.

Anbody have any ideas?

Forgot to mention that I did the process above on my laptop with the intention of using the newly burned cd on my desktop which is basically the kids machine. The disk goes into the installation process on my laptop but messes up on the desktop. Must be a drive compatibility issue....?

Here's what I did. I went to www.gamecopyworld.com and downloaded Game Jackal for $10. This program allows you to play any game without a disk at all. This way you don't even have to spend time burning copy after copy. Its a very easy program to use. You should download the free trial version and try it.

you could also try just making an image of the first disk to the sims 2 and mounting it to the virtual drive of Alcohol 120% and see if it plays, if it plays just keep it like that, and you won't need to make a back up cd. no wasted attempts, no wasted cd's, and no more need to replace the disks. i did it with my command and conquer tiberian sun, because i don't want to keep the disk in the cd-rom the whole time i'm playing.

one broad day in the middle of the night, two dead boys went out to fight, back to back they faced each other, pulled out there swords and shot each other, two deaf police men heard the noise, went out to kill the two dead boys, if you don't believe my lies are true, ask the blind man, he saw it too. :D
