I have used alcohol 120% to copy the game simcity 4. I got all the way to where it was making an image of the cd and it has been running for over 5 hours. It went relatively fast and was at 97% after half an hour but now it has slowed to less than .1x. Is there any thing i did wrong that would cause it to slow so much?
can you supply some more info: was it an iso? was it a .bin? did you have the corresponding cue file if it was a bin? What is your pc stats? How much ram do you have ? what type? Have you tried something else to copy it with: e.g: dvd decrypter clone cd 5 disc juggler cdrwin nero
i tried making a .bin and a .iso but neither of them want to work. I tried safedisk and safedisk 2/3 and both had the same result. Is there another program that you think would work better? I tried dvd decripter and dvd shrink and neither of those programs would even start it. (My guess is because it is a cd not dvd.) and nero would not work either nor would roxio. i have a dell 2400 with a 2.4Ghz pentium 4 and 512 Mb of ddr ram. while trying to copy it i think what is slowing it down is error messages but another thread here said lots of error messages are normal. I tried it again last night with safedisk and it ran for 10 minutes to get to 95% and spent 11 hours tryin to get done. So im not sure what to do. Is there anything else you want to know.
