I advise you to update your burner's firmware.
Even with an older firmware your burner is able to backup SafeDisc 2 protected titles. I use Alcohol 120% and my burner works fine with SafeDisc 2.

In alcohol, just use the default SD-2 profile, it works fine here.

The firmware update won't hurt anything, most of us here are using the latest, (6S0C). But this will not have any affect on your ability to copy SD-2. I've copied SD-2 with all of them.
Are you using the 52x drive to read and burn the disc?

i've copied safedisc 2.x perfectly fine using my 52246S (6S0C) and alcohol. maybe the problem is not with ur drive but with alcohol, in which case u can try contacting them for support. also, u haven't really answered rdgrimes' question about whether u're using the 52246S to read the discs.

I even tried to dump an image at lower speed still it gives me read errors ?

Can someone tell me about plex CD-writers may be i can exchange liteon 52x for a plex

Securom 4.x
Safedisc 2.x
Read errors

Please reply me soon i need to replace my cd-writer soon


Will be greatful if the experts reply

The LiteOn copies all the protected discs as well as any of the others, better in many cases. Suggest you have a good read over at the Alcohol forum

I think the problem is, he's seeing the "read errors" and thinking that there's a problem.
The read errors are normal. Just let the software do it's thing, and trust it. Don't be afraid of read errors, even if there are LOTS of them.... it's normal.
