Ive had a dvd-drive for not too long, but now it wont read games on original discs or copied discs. The same computer; same burner used to read a copied game, then now it just doesn't. Like right now it won't read a couple original discs that aren't even scratched or damaged. The burner isn't like dead, because it can still burn very well and do pretty much anything except reading games. The message i get when trying to play an original game or a copied game i once was able to play is "please insert the correct cd-rom and try again." So, i don't really know whats wrong. I think it might have to do with copy protection, but if it does, then how come i was able to play the same copied disc that i cant anymore?? Help would be appreciated.
you might have a dirty laser lens get a dvd clener disc how didnt u burn backups {software}or try mounting image with deamon tools.hope this helps
if your game dics wont auto run right click mouse on disc and try explore if u can see the files just select all and copy to a folder on your desktop.u might be able to install game or burn to disc then fron disc convert them to iso.
Daemon tools seems kind of complex. I read through the manual but it doesn't tell me how to do the particular thing i want to do. Like 1 to 1 copying; the manual doesn't tell me how to do it. If there is a guide of some sort to explain the complexness of this software it would make me a lot happiness. So, yeah. If anyone could explain just how to copy a protected game (like with 1:1 copy feature, i would appreciate it.
deamon tools only mounts the image .have u try your dics on a friend pc if it works on theres just convert it to iso then mount image with deamon tools or u can try gamejackal.what did u use to back up your game disc with some gaming software wont let u read the dics after its copyed.what game are u trying to install.
just a thought have u tried clone dvd or clone cd .I use iso magic to make backups of my games .if u still are having trouble try cd freaks they will now what to do if anyone does .
For the game/games discs that wont work is the game downloaded? I ask this because people commonly only get the erroe "please insert correct cd-rom" when playing with either a) a downloaded version of a game the isn't "fixed" or b) downloaded and installed a game,burnt it to a disc and cant get that disc to work. So again is the game/games disc(s) that wont work a downloaded copy?
Thanks for everyones replies! lonernz - I have 2 computers and the game i once was able to play (a backup) worked on 1 for about 3 months. I got my computer fixed, maybe that has something to do with it. The dvd drive wasnt removed when it got fixed. I tried 3 different dvd drives on both of my computers. To backup my games i only used Alcohol 120%, with that wizard. I cant remember the name of that wizard though. I did use the right protection too. Im trying to backup Battlefield vietnam, Battlefield 2, and Diablo 2: lord of destruction. Is what you used all you need to use to backup a game, lonernz? No, my games are not downloaded.
I backuped bf2 and bfvietnam with clone cd if u have dvd use clone dvd also watch what disc u use some have anti-copywrite protection on them .
My cd's don't have anti-copywrite protection. So thats it? I just use Clone CD to do my backups for anything, or just BFV & BF2?
they will copy most games . i will post a link for u for 123 studios u might find this software a bit easier.when using clone make shore u click protected dics when the box appears.
This is annoying me like hell... I copied BFV & Diablo 2 Lod successfully, but when i try to play, guess what it says? "Please insert the CD and try again." - something close to that for both! I have tested both copies on both of my computers. 1 computer has a brand new drive, so i know that the drives isn't the problem.
well dont understand why this is happening to u .go to gamecopyworld and get the nocd or dvd patch look in your read me file and make shore u get the right version for your game other wise copy your game disk to iso file and mount it with deamon tools if you dont have and iso program let me know and I will give u a link to download a working copy.
