We won't know until you read the guides, burn, and see if your backups play m8. Check out the "2 sheep" burner list and if you don't find your brand name burner on there then you own a "1 sheep". This refers to EFM encoding and how the burner writes patterns (correctly, almost correctly). If using Alcohol 120% and your cd burner isn't on the list then go to options>data type settings>enable bypass efm. If using BlindWrite Suite, then go to general settings>enahnce weak sectors. You can use a free software application called CDMage to determine if your bin& cue file(s) are corrupt, repair them (if needed) 2 sheep cd burners http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/45121 CDMage http://cdmage.cjb.net/ Shoey
To check if a CD Image has errors, fire up CDMage (http://cdmage.orcon.net.nz/frames.html), drag and drop the CD Image into CDMage. Then goto the Actions menu and select Scan for Corruption. If it is not an ISO then CDMage will proceed to scan for corruption (for some reason CDMage cannot scan ISOs). If it does find corruption it will display a listing of all the corrupt sectors. To have CDMage try to fix the corruption, right-click on each entry and select Fix. Make a backup before you do this! Note that if the image has more than 'minor' errors odds are that even though CDMage may no longer detect errors, the image is 'messed'. You should probably re-download or re-extract it. If you absolutely must check an ISO, first open it and then under the File menu, select Save As and CDMage will save it as a BIN/CUE. Now you can have CDMage check the BIN/CUE for corruption.
