    Hi, im pretty new to my pc but am learing quick, i currently downloaded dvd decrypter to make a back up of a dvd and everything went really well, (thanks),
    I would really like to make a back up of nfs underground but is protected by safedisk v2.9
    What do you suggest doing is there a program that i can use ?
    P.s I also tryed downloading nero burning rom v6316 but it only downloaded around 85% of the program, i will try again but just wondered if you might nkow why?

    Hi,

    For backing up NFS I'd suggest either BlindWrite5 or Alcohol 120%. Both are very good at backing up PC games and well worth the money. You will also need a burner that's up to the task.

    Where are you trying to download Nero? It's an easy download from Nero's site.

    Thanks for the reply, what do you mean by a burner that's up to the task ? (A good d: drive !) I was thinking of alcohol 120% i've heard a lot about it, what's it like ? Can you back up most cd's & games with it ?
    I was trying to download nero of the link from this site it told me that it had finished downloading but it had not downloaded everything !
    like i said im new at all the copying & cdrw so im a bit lost, thanks again.

    Alcohol 120% is gold for someone like yourself. It's very user friendly.

    Just make sure your burner doesn't suck...

    You can download a free trial of Alcohol 120% on their site, take a look at it, I'm sure you'll like it.

    Happy Burning

    Hey buddy,

    Not all burners are created equal! To defeat the newer protections you'll need what's known as a "2-sheep" burner - one that can hadle EFM encoding correctly which is important for successfully backing up games. Here's alink to a list of 2-sheep burners - see if yours is on the list:

    Alcohol 120% is a very easy-to-use app. I used it very successfully for the duration of the trial but ultimately went with BlindWrite5 which I liked better.

    I don't know what to say about the incomplete download of Nero - maybe try from Nero's site:

    No worries! You're in good hands here :)
