look around toshiba's website, a friend of mine has a tosh drive (cant rmember the model number) but he calimed he upgraded his firmware and when he upgraded it he was able to play securom images that use twin setors, so try and upgrade ur firms. better yet, ask markgray72 what firm he uses and what tosh models he used, he prolly has one of the good firmwares.

if there is no new firmware for ur drive or the firmware on there doesnt help with twin sectors, then the only way u can use a securom copied cd to install and play form the same cd is to use the autoplay function in blindwrite 4.2.7.

get blindwrite 4.2.7
go into blindwrite config and make sure autoplay is on
make sure u got a image made and a bwa file for it, and just burn it with blindwrite.
what autoplay does is it takes in the values from the bwa file, and stores it somewhere on the cd, well it's more complicated than that but im really simplifying things down, and it leaves the data in tact, when u install the game the game will install perfectly, when u run the game it emulates (haha i can see all those peeps cringe at that word, it really isnt that bad) the physical properties of the original disc by using the bwa data stored on the cd, as a result the cd verifys. its better to use emulation instead of the normal method in ur case as the data is left in tact and the picky toshiba will not report a crc error when u install. the only downside to this is u must have blindwrite installed on the machine u run it on. lapinou is making a small program that has the autoplay alone for free later on, so u wont need to install blindwrite on every machine u want to play it on u can use that autoplay standalone thingy instead. i burned ut2k3, lotr and nolf2 with the autoplay method and tested installation also it works perfectly, and authentication is as fast as originals.

also if u want to use the twin sector method on ur next cd then just disable autoplay form the bw configuration and it will use the old method.

blindwrite does NOT do a 1:1 of securom, plain and simple. when u buy hitman 2 it does not fail on install nor is there a bunch of twin sectors slapped on there. also when u buy ut2k3, it does not have stuff hidden on the cd that calls for autoplay whenever it runs. a true 1:1 of a securom game is when the copy not only contains the data from the store boguht, but it also has the actual physical properties that the store bought has. you should be able to take bwabuilder and make a CORRECT bwa file off a burnt cdr for it to be even close to 1:1 and a smooth curve is not correct, it should look like somethign that u would download from futureproof's bwa download sticky. all blindwrite does is fool the protection into thikning that this is a store bought game, by using either autoplay or twin sectors. and yes before someone says it, we prolly will not see cdrs with actual physical properties on the cd identical to the store boughts themselves for a long time. i am very aware of this and i know when the day comes when we can make/buy media of that type then im going for it. just use the autoplay method jackal and dont worry about it.
