Normal mastering software like RecordNow, Nero or EasyCD does not suffice for backing protected disks. You should use the right software (Alcohol 120%, or Blindwrite, or CloneCD, or...) and consult the tutorials in this forum.

check for protections on the disk with "alcoholer" avail here use the search button :) alternativly search for "clonyxxl" or "scout" all three programs will confirm yes or no if a disk as protection or not !? then use any of the above programs mentioned above to copy :)

the three protection scanners here will transfer the correct settings to the desired program for burning :)

Good solution that works

darkangelman,

This has worked for me numerous times and it's a good idea for backing up games. I use WinISO to make an iso of the CD's and if I ever need to give a copy to someone or to use later I would use Nero or any other burning software that will do iso images to burn the CD's. You don't have to worry about the CD's being dirty or scratched up. Hope this helps...
