If you're trying to backup your game CD's, then typical CD burning apps like Nero or Roxio just don't cut it. You need a program like Alcohol 120% or the old CloneCD to make backups of the original CD's. Most game CDs are encrypted, and Nero/Roxio don't have the capability to make a 1:1 backup.

Thanks a lot bud, some of my games are really getting scratched up and not sure how long they will last! I guess paying for this is better than buying new games
All i ever see, no matter how long i wait is:

Why so many errors? am i doing something wrong?
I tryed burning a game with nero, cloneCD and Alcohol 120% and none of them worked. Anything else? or am i doing something wrong?
Well, my friend returned my disc to me very badly damaged. Thats why it wouldn't work. Thanks guys for your help!
i remember seeing a product in stores a while back. im not sure if its still out there or if it even worked.
it was a liquid, you pour it over the cd and let it dry, it would re form the tracks on the cd and temp get rid of the scratches. allowing you to backup the cd one last time before its completely dead.
that was a while back, som im unsure if its still around. worthchecking out if you have a moderator or mojor pc related store in your area.

your version on clonecd might be old... cuz i can backup any game with clonecd, some games will need a crack, but the cd is perfectly readable.

Making backups of protected cds is highly dependent on hardware, but latley making a successful backup of recent games is a 2 or 3 application process. Surf the
cdfreaks fourms for tons of good info. If the game came out in the last year then you will probably have a good amount of work to copy it. If it is a few years old most of the time all you need is a burner that supports reading subchannel data and clonecd.
Also the errors you are seeing during copy attempts are part of the copy protection process. The errors aren't reproduceable by 99% of the burners on the market, the protection program can tell the difference between the original and a backup with inaccurate error reproduction, bacup is rejected.
Well, i have sucessuly made backups thanks to you guys. However, i can not play them. I get this error:

If you are experiencing the following error (Please note the icon):
This program requires the original game CD be present in the local drive. The program is unable to confirm if the game CD is original.

in every game i play. I have uninstalled and completely cleaned my system (regestry included) of all programs that emulate stuff. I have done everything on here, and it still won't work. Not just for call of duty, but also: C&C generals, Battlefield Vietnam, Hitman Contracts. I invested a lot of money into those games and now they are just useless because it tells me i have the wrong cd in. The only way to make it work is to re-install and then play the game right away. As soon as i re-start or close the game, it happens again.
HELP!

HELP!
that is the result of copy protection, u will simply have to download a crack and use it. u can download cracks from www.megagames.com
I get this error no matter what cd i use. Norton antivirus, battle field vietnam (ea-games) (original disc), call of duty (activision) (original disc), Hitman Contracts (Edios) (original disc)
It has nothing to do with copy right protection. Even though i uninstalled all of the cd copying programs i had i am pretty sure an emulator or something is still running. Because it says that it doesn't read any disc in my cd-rom drive (the games say that). So oviously when the games are booting it isn't reading to the default CD-rom or CD-RW drive. I also downloaded a NOCD crack for Battlefield, and it didn't work.
HELP!
Thats what i was talking about. I even tryed doing a freash install of Battlefield Vietnam and without even playing it and using a NO-CD crack. No luck however.
he's right, you've probly got bad crack (heh, too much soda in it )
I've also tried most of those games (without crack) and gotten the same errs. it's all the copy protection they put on them. one good scratch can ruin a game because of it (on old school games it used to just ruin one or 2 levels, parts of the soundtrack, or occasionally the install files)
andr.net has lots of cracks too.
I use alc 120% and Nero 6 for all burning needs. sometimes you can use dameon tools to emulate a CD and just play from the image file that your burner makes (ie: cin+cue or iso) it's always been hit or miss though. the C+C games hav always had top-of-the-line hardball protection
