Backing up a game disk - Club CDFreaks

The Last Nazgule · 01-07-2007

Hello, i have been trying to burn/copy battle for middle earth 2, using ubuntu (linux) but i have access to windows. i tried making an iso image than putting it on a dvd, it installed in windows than when i tried to play it, it asked for the correct disk, when i did put in the correct disk it worked fine, i believe that at the start of the disk their was purposely put data that appears damaged (bad sector's) so the program would not burn it. than i tried the renowned alcohol 120% to no success (why is it called 120%).Help, how do i copy this game. Help will be appreciated. The Last Nazgule.

You need to use Alcohol 120% and SafeDisc v2/3 profile. The bad sectors are part of protection

Also you'll most likely have to mount the image after ripping.

Ok i just downloaded safedisk, so do i rip the disk with alcohol 120% than mount it, than what do i do with afe disk?

Go to Alcohol 120. Go to Image Making Wizard, were it says datatype set it as safedisc 2/3. Click next and rip it to were ever you want. Then the image should show up in alcohol 120. Right of Image Making Wizard. Right click that and mount image.
