Hi all,
I bought a PC game, Icewind Dale II, and try to backup it with Alcohol 120.
I made a set of image files and played them with the simulator successfully, so I burned they on cdr. But the cdr can't be loaded. (the led on the cd drive just keep bright, after some time, turn dark, then light again, it seems to have difficulties to load the disc.)
But nevermind, I then used a cdrw to backup it, so I can try out the proper setting. (because I think the image files should be ok). I tried, and the result is the same as the previous cdr.
Here problem comes. I can't erase the cdrw! The led on the cd rom keep bright, windows (xp) continue trying to load the disc.
After a while, windows gives up to load it, the led turn dark. I use alcohol to erase the disc, alcohol can't detect the disc. (it shows "no disc"). I use Nero, it says the disc is "illegal" (illegal format?), ask me to insert a "cdrw".
So could you help me ....
1. How / What software to erase the cd-rw?
2. How to turn off the auto run in win xp?
I have tried to set it from the place "righ click cd drive --> properties --> auto play --> no action for all format's disc, but when I insert the game disc, the disc still auto run ....
I just feel confuse .... the game manufacture shouldn't be able to destroy a hardware, a cdrw, with copy protection techs ? If so, it is just too terrible.
Any response would be appreciated. Thank you.
Edit:
Just to add some information.
I check the game with clony xxl 2015, with default settings, the protection type is
unknown.
My cd drive should be able to erase normal cdrw .... so I guess the problem is the copy protection ?
hello everyone, nice to meet you
