For those of you that can't find the new options!The new features are enabled through the new icon in the taskbar.It will be there if the region info checks out.Just click on the new taskbar icon after you start the program. :)


Oh....need to add this....Amplify Weaks Sectors is available after you are done the read process.It will become available in the write options!

I have Win98SE and the instructions worked for me. Until I put in the registration for CloneCD there was only one copy of amplifyweak in the registry and after registering it there were two copies but when I changed one the other changed automatically.

Furthermore, my moving to Canada and setting my region setting worked fine as well.

However, isn't there a registy fix so I don't have to move to Canada?:confused:

Clone CD

I tried going in to the registry and changing the "one and only" Amplifyweak that I found and it changed it ok. When I checked the taskbar icon it showed the Hide CDR Media just fine. When I went into Clone it had the AmplifyWeak box greyed out (although it checkmarked it in the Protcd mode) but it was still greyed out. I went ahead and changed my settings to that of Canada (English) with my same time zone and uninstalled and reinstalled CloneCD and it has been working great ever since. The AmplifyWeak box is no longer greyed out. Now after all of that, can anyone tell me what these 2 items will actually do? :D I have the Plextor 16/10/40a IDE CD-RW and according to the CloneCD site, it is supposed to only read in the RAW mode and write in the RAW-DAO 96. To risk the fear of sounding stupid, does that mean it will write the subchannel as long as the file I use already has it in it, but it can't read it to make the subchannel if I use the Plextor to read it? (Arghhhhhhhhhhhh! Now I'm getting confused! :confused: ) I use Fantom CD so it doesn't matter a whole lot on the recording of it since I will be using the images on Virtual CDs anyway. But I would like to be able to read the subchannel on my backups if I can. Thanks for listening to the ramblin' ons of an old fogey new at this stuff. Any help and information would be greatly welcomed. :cool:

Clone CD

I am running Windows XP Pro, live,work and compute all from within the confines of the dominion of Canada and still can't get this damn "amplify weak" sectors thing to work. When I upgraded the software it told me I live in America therefore this feature will be disabled and so on. No need to change anything in control panel since I AM CANADIAN and have used English Canadian settings along. Can only find one registry entry as: "Amplifyweak". Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello everyone !

I live in France & when I wanted to install CloneCD 3.2.0.1 under Win2000, it tells me that I can't have the amplify weak option !
Is it normal ?

Thanks for your help.

Amplify Weak Sectors

This option will be visible after the read is finished!It will be an option in the write settings.Just check the box for SD2 titles.

Hope that helps!:)

Plextor 10/10/40a

This is for Woody...

You sound like you know a lot more than I do about this stuff. I have a debate going here with a friend of mine about my Plextor 16/10/40a IDE CD-RW. I have the latest version firmware (1.04) so I am up to date. Will my Plextor READ the sunchannel as well as write it, do you know? According to the CloneCD site, it will write in RAW-DAO +96 but only read in RAW mode. I guess I am confused as to if this writer will copy everything now or do I need to upgrade it? Or should I go out and try to find a good reader CD-Rom that will read RAW-DAO +96? Any help will be grteatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. (By the way, you guys have one heck of a site here! Glad I stumbled on to you!):cool:

Boofo..I'm not sure why reading raw+96bytes isn't listed on the Clone site.It is my understanding that this writer will read and write just about everything.It cannot write Safedisc2(like many others).It should however,write Sd2 now with this newest Clone Cd release.

Try a read with Clone enabling read subchannel data.If you don't get an error it should be fine for the full 96bytes read.Hope that helps.:)

This may sound dumb but on my machine (Win XP United States) you only have to change the standards and formats setting to english(canada) in the regional settings to get the hide cdr option to work and to have amplify weak sectors enabled. Didnt have to edit the registry or anything to have the options enabled. Worked for me. Mileage may vary.

That is correct. It is easy to do for Xp...No registry info is changed.:) there are so many posts that it has become confusing.:)

It works fine with windows ME!

Set your region to CaHere is a fix to the "amplify weak" option that makes it available to those in the US/GB.

1. Run REGEDIT
2. Perform a search for "amplify weak".
3. Double click when found, and enable by entering "1" vice "0".
"Amplify weak" appears twice in the registry, make sure you enable both.

or set your region to Canada in the control panel - the simplest way!


In window ME I only found one "amplifyweak". The amplifyweak is one word, change to 1 and change the reginal in the control panel to Canada...Good work! Thanks. I use window me.

Woody,

Thanks for getting back to me on this so quickly. :) Can you tell me if there is a program of some sort out there that can read a disc (like a protected one) and tell you what protection scheme it is doing?


Try a read with Clone enabling read subchannel data.If you don't get an error it should be fine for the full 96bytes read.Hope that helps.:)
Do I have to have a special CD of any kind to do this? I have Black and White, will that work? And is it protected, do you know?

I always use the Protcd option in CloneCD wheh I record a game or something. It has all the settings already to go in it and I have never had any problems doing it that way.

I will try the read and let you know what I find out. Thanks again.

By the way, you said most recorders won't write Safedisc2 like alot of others. Is that because Safedisc2 is so new or is it something wrong with drives like mine?

OK, what i'm trying to figure out is if my amplify weak settings box is greyed out (but checked) is it actually applied? I did the reg settings, rebooted, and the hide cdr media is still greyed out on me. however, if i change regional settings, everything is there. i'd just like to stay what i am. but it's not a big deal to switch back and forth, i was just hoping the reg-fix would work without any problems. sorry to add more to this thread. i'm just curious. thanks for all the help.
