Hi guys,
I've been creating images of my old games discs as a backup. Not to mention it's way easier having an image than digging out old discs.
The first game I ran into a problem with was Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Disc 1 burned no problem with IMGBurn, but Disc 2 gave me L-EC Uncorrectable Error. After 20 attempts it would fail. The guys at IMGBurn said this was due to copyright protection. I checked Daemon Tools database and there it was... SafeDisc protection. Google also mentioned only Disc 2 as having the protection.
I loaded up Daemon Tools Lite and went to create image, putting the speed at 4x just in case of any problems. Well Daemon Tools also failed...
This is what I got:
I thought Daemon Tools had no problems with SecuROM or SafeDisc?
Well I kept googling and I found a thread on this forum with someone saying Alcohol 52/120% could handle my issue.
So I got it, left all settings default. The post I read said it has to read 10000 disc read errors before it can create the image. The guy said it would take 30 minutes...
It took in total 1:49:20 to do this 800mb disc. That is ridiculous! It only started working after 7775 disc read errors.
Yes it worked. I installed the game, tested it, plays fine. Can't complain there.
But is this really a common issue with SafeDisc? Nearly 2 hours to remove the protection?
Why cant Daemon Tools do this anymore?
Thanks guys
