Futureproof has pointed you to the right direction with his excellent guide to all the ins and outs that you would need in his link.

If you can post a bit more detail about your system ( as much of it as you know ) you know the specs, i.e chipsets and etc ...

Also a few questions:

- What title are you trying to back up?
- What settings in clone are you using to do that?
- A posting of your CCD log would be helpful as it might show what your burner might be going through?
- Have you been able to make any succesful back up any other title with Safe Disk or any of its many varieties?
- What sort of information is clone giving you about your burner? you know the specs and its abilities.
- How is the burner situated in your machine as in like what IDE channel? Primary or secondary? you can find this out looking at the Device Manager --> IDE Controllers --> Advanced
- What mode is the IDE Transfer mode for your burner i.e. PIO or UDMA33?
- If you machine is slightly old, have you had a look in the Bios to see if there is any options for activating the UDMA ( Ultra DMA ) transfer any where. If there is were you able to enable this feature?

- Finally, what is the out come of the backup as it is now? is the disk usable or complete coaster?
