Hi... sounds as if you are trying to copy sd2 copy protection if it will play but only in the cdrw you created it in.this is a very complexed subject due to various types of copyright used by different companies.without knowing the brand of cdrw you are using and the disk you are trying to copy it is impossible to say.very few cdrw drives can copy all current protection but there are only a few inc:liteon 30x10x40, 24x10x40, plexter 24x10x40 other brands can do some protection but will only play in the drive created in. if you are trying to back up copyrighted cd material the best program is clone cd.this makes 1-1 copies with the correct settings chosen in the program.there is also a program called clonyxl which can be used with clone cd to detect which protection is used and then transfers to clone to give correct settings to burn the cd.. there are help forums on this subject at www.clone.cd hope this helps..... _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcbuild.shtml
