Thanks for the profiles kalas, i'll test them out.

One thing though - i use a liteon drive to backup safedisc and I know that in the past "enhance weak sectors" has not been required, but every profile i see has this option enabled. Is it still not necessary for liteon drives with the latest safedisc versions, or is it now needed to make a successful backup with a liteon?

I have been unable to make a successful backup of PoP with a ltr-48125w but have always had "enhance weak sectors" off.

Thanks
