141823 2003-05-06 09:23:00 Hi ^^

You see, a few years ago I brought this game called 'Commandos 2', I managed to make a back of it (thank god that I did) with Nero 5 . 5 . 6 . 4 . Just a few days ago, my baby sister some how managed to get a deep scratch into the back up cds . . . . Now, my back up cds are stuff up and I wanna make another back up 'Commandos 2' . . . . This time I used the same programme (nero 5 . 5 . 6 . 4), with the same Os(Win98Se) and the same cd writer (ASUS 32X12X40) . . . but this time, none of the back up worked . . . . There are 3 cds to 'Commandos 2' and none of those cds that I backed up worked . I've defrag and scan disk the computer 2 days before I tried backing up Commandos 2 .

Now every time when I go into Nero and try to copy some things to a black cd . Nero keep thinking that I want to use 'CD Copy' mode, even if I select 'CD ROM (ISO)' Nero won't allow me to select my writing speed nor does it let me to select 'New Session', 'Multi Session' or 'No multi Session' . I even try uninstalling and installing Nero . . . but every time I tried doing that, nothing happens . I do mean NOTHING HAPPENS .


So any ideas?

The computer: Win98Se, AMD K6-500 mhz (old huh but I have a faster one), ASUS 32X12X40 and 50X cd rom drive . Programme that I used was Nero 5 . 5 . 6 . 4 . I also tried Blindwrite . . . but that did not work either .


Thanks alot for your time :)

141824 2003-05-06 09:53:00 First things first... Commandos 2 has copy protection, so I don't know how you copied it in the first place... Perhaps your backups never worked anyway? Did you try installing from these discs from scratch?

I know Commandos 2 has a cd protection on it, I too had no idea how I was able to make a copy of it. And yes, I had installed Commandos 2 from the back up cds before, everything worked perfectly. My original cds are still in perfect shape.

Any suggestions?


Thanks :)

141828 2003-05-06 22:11:00 So has your writer been able to write anything else (eg. music, etc) or has it not responded?

Lo.

141829 2003-05-07 05:48:00 Nope, it won't allow me, it keep thinking that I want to clone a cd . I can't uninstalled it nor can I reinstall it . What do I do?

Thanks :)
