Burning images of protected CDs with Alcohol 120%

1) Open Alcohol 120%
2) Click on 'Image Burning Wizard'



3) push 'Browse' then load the proper file(.CUE, .CCD, .ISO) file.



4) Now you should see the info of the loaded image. Push 'next'.



5) On the next screen check that, on the [bold]CD/DVD Recorder [/bold] drop-down menu, your recorder is correctly shown. Then look at the 'Datatype' drop-down menu:



6) Change the 'Datatype' drop-down menu according to the protectionyou detected on the original CD (or image). In this example we set 'Playstation' since the CD is a PSX CD. You'll notice that this setting automatically changed the [bold]Write Method [/bold] (from DAO/SAO to RAW DAO) and [bold]unchecked[/bold] the 'Rectify Sub-Channel Data' checkbox. Different Datatypes will activate different settings.

[bold]Please note that if you have a '2-sheep burner' (see http://elby.ch/english/products/clone_cd/writers/a.html ) you might need to modify manually the default Datatype = Safedisc 2 setting, by UNCHECKING the 'Bypass EFM error' checkbox. Read this article http://clone.cd/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=583 to learn more about this issue.[/bold]



6) The write speed is set accordingly to your system resources. Just avoid burning at high speed for PSX CDs (since PSX CD-ROM sucks). Click 'Start' to start burning.



7) On the next screen you are able to keep track of the burning process. Avoid using too many system resources during the burning process.



8) A popup will inform you at the ending of the burning. The Backup CD has been completed!
