one question what speed are you writing them @ as the lower the speed the better.

Happy burning

[yeaf]

some burners are unstable at high speeds. burn at half of your MAX speed and youll be fine. also where exactly does the writing process fail? in the middle???
at the start?? need more info

It Says that it now completes sucsefuly , and half the speed, but when i put the disk in the playstaion it spins up and when it get to the play station screen just stops there.I am right in that i only need to patch a game if it is a protected game of import, The game i am trying to backup is ridge racer4 which came with my ne ###ne

Thanks for all you help

Forget using your Freecom for the moment, these burners are not very stable when making PSX backups but there is a fix for this using fireburner and cdrwin.

I believe your HP7200 is CloneCD compatable and here are the settings to use.....

READ:-Read subchannel data from data track = ON
Read subchannel data from audio tracks = ON
Leave all the rest un#####ed.
WRITE:-Don't repair subchannel data = ON
Always close last session = ON
Leave all the rest un#####ed.

Keep you speeds low untill you get a feel for it.

If you are still running win 2000/2000AS then you could also try updating your aspi layer. Update available from goldenhawks site.

Hope you get it sorted!

I have now got it to work sucessfuly but the only way to do this is to selecr RAW when i write the disk not just read the disk is there any thing wrong with this
