weird MOHAA backup - Club CDFreaks

Tezmar · 29-07-2002

I'm not sure if this is the right forum..... Anyway, I was really bored so I decided to see what I could do with nero. I made a backup of MOHAA using my NEC 5700A as the reader and wrote with my liteon 48125W. The backup worked perfectly.(with hide cdr media on) Now the strange part, I read the backup to an image file using cloneCd, and there were no unreadable sectors at all reported. And no I didn't check "don't report read errors". The weak sectors were still present though(I used betablocker to check). So I was wondering how the heck can my backup still work even if there are no unreadable sectors?

just another fact that G.O.D works in mysterious ways.

ha yah right!

what happened my son / daughter was it was all a fluke

i cant think of any logical explanation to your findings.

I just tried it with max payne and there are no read errors, yet it still works perfectly. This only occurs when I use nero to make a backup.(Remember I am really bored, otherwise I would have simply used clonecd) Therefore does safedisc 2 not need the unreadable sectors to work or maybe it only relies on weak sectors or maybe I am just completely confused. Anyone else want to try this just for fun? I'll post my settings if u want.

Why would you waste CDs if you were bored, just does not make sense

There are no SafeDisc errors on the backup when re-read. This is well known. The reproduced patterns on the backup mimic SD.

My other safedisc 2 backups(made with clonecd) have unreadable sectors when reread with clonecd. And btw I'm doing this because I have some crappy cdr's I want to get rid of.
