Backing up a game protected by SafeDisc 2.5x

[Schadenfroh]

cliff notes
1. purchased MOHAA battlechest edition, brand new, sealed at local store
2. Try to install game, disc 2 is curropt, tried on 2 differant computers
3. Called EA to get replacement (local store is on final sale basis, its a salvage store and i go the last copy), they want to charge me more than i payed for the game and its 2 expansions just to get something to fix their defective product they sold me.
4. Borrowed MOHAA disc 2 from a friend
5. MOHAA has something called safedisc2.5x that will not let me copy it with nero


How do i burn a CD that has SafeDisc 2.5x?

I suggest you download a demo version of Alcohol 120% and copy it that way. Just select the safedisc 2.5x in the dropdown box when getting ready to make the image. Then burn the image with the safedisc 2.5x selected again.

How do you correctly identify what write protection game media has? That is what has thworted my backing up of a lot of my games...

I think gamecopyworld tells you which kind of protection each game has.

Here is a protection scanner that should work for most games. A problem with new releases is that the protection is often updated, in turn the scanner must be updated to properly detect the protection scheme.
