SafeDisc 1:1 CD-Copy Instructions

CDRWIN

  • Start CDRWIN (3.5 or higher).
  • In the CDRWIN - CDROM  Recording Tools window click Backup Disc.
  • In the Backup Disc window change the following settings (all other settings should be left default):
Main
Backup Mode... Select Copy to Image and Record
Devices
Drive Reader Select Source CD-Reader
Read Speed 1x (150 kB/s)
Reading Options
Copy RAW Sectors DeSelect
Error Recovery... Select Ignore
Jitter Correction... Select Auto
Subcode Analisys...    Select Auto
Read Retry Count 1
Data Speed 1x (when possible select a faster speed)
Audio Speed 1x (when possible select a faster speed)
 
  • When ready click START to create the imagefile & burn the CD.
Because of the unreadable errors the CD-Copy can take between 1 and 8 hours to complete, depending on the CD-Reader!

In some cases it is better to use the CD-Writer as Source CD-Reader as it is usually better able to read unreadable sectors.

Keep in mind that not all CD-Reader/CD-Writers are capable of reading the SafeDisc protected CD-ROM!

If you are experiencing problems unpacking the .ACE files make sure to use the latest WinACE 2.xx as previous versions, WinRAR & WinZIP fail to work!!!

If you have problems downloading files then use a download manager
like Go!Zilla! (Free!), Download Accelerator or GetRight to avoid download problems and to resume failed downloads!

It can happen that some of the downloads have a .TGZ extension instead of the usual .ACE  -  Just rename the file back to .ACE and it works fine again!
