ok. i have a tdk 48x burner i was burning ut2003 from cd to cd on adaptec... i got the 1st disc to burn but the second woulnd't finish.

tried again still woulnd't work....then i tried to make a copy of norton securirty 2003 that finished but when i went to check the cd out cd drive said nonething was in there....i am using black cd-rs would that be a problem...or is it some kinda copyright....im burning the cd a 48x...then i tried optimal speed...i burned music cds just find with the black cd-rs at 48x



(YES, i have all the original cd just wanted to make copies just in case my original cds goes bad or something)

i've had very mixed results burning cd-to-cd even on fast hardware that should normally support it. i would get random errors during the burn.

nowadays, i either create an ISO and burn it from that or have it create a dump file to the hd before mastering the cd.

I agree with PJ.. makea ISO first.. then burn form your hardrive..

but if u still have problem.. try DiscJuggler.. that program will burn anything.. haven't found anythign that can stand up to it yet..

[Paluccie]

usually black cd-r's are a problem nowadays only because of the darkness on the bottom the laser sometimes can't read it.. not always though... you can try also cd-to-cd using only the cd burner... put the source disk in the cd burner and let the program burn it to a image.. it will ask for the blank disk afterwards... the reason this somethings works is because cd-roms and dvd-roms tend to not be able to "block" the copyright on the cd not always true... but worth a shot.

so should i just check mark on the part that says copy to hd 1st?


ill try that now and see...iso would adpatec do that?

You can put a check where it says "copy to hd first" or you can use the file menu "make CD image" command.

Adaptec (Easy CD Creator I'm assuming) can do .iso format as well as it's own proprietary .cif format.

I've used a great little program called "CloneCD" It workds better than any other program I've used. Even better than Nero.

[aznxguy2o9]

clonecd?...i have to try that...i usually prefer nero

[muno]

CloneCD will produce a closer match to the original.

I've used clonecd.. nero.. easy cd.. cdrwin and allot of others.. clone cd will get most cd protection.. esp if u get a good front end for it.. but it can't get them all. I've ran into cd it couldn't get.. that is y I suggested discjuggler if nothing else works..
