Copying using Replicator.
Gear Replicator: Home page: www.elektroson.com
Gear Replicator 1.2 is the easiest copy program to use for this purpose. This program simply copies from your Cdr to the hard drive (using about 650 MB of space to make a virtual image) and from the hard drive then to a blank disc. Test modes usually prevent it from making an error in the copy.
Recommendation: Scandisk and Defragment hard drive first. Do NOT run anything else while copying.
Typical results: Very good. Programs that copy have been fully usable, so try the program - most likely it will not even get to the write portion if the disc doesn't read or test doesn't work in the test write phase.
Problems: Problems may occur during read phase (bad block area), Cdr may switch to lower speed and will try again - as long as it reads the whole disc, its fine. If it doesn't read the whole disc and stops, some users find that either HD was not defragmented / scandisked, other programs were running etc. Discs that may not copy include discs with multiple data tracks (most have 1 only) or audio tracks under 4 seconds (like the new star wars fighting game).
