Cannot create image from disc - L-EC Uncorrectable Error


KILL

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I could use some help!

 

I am trying to create an image of Rainbow Six Raven Shield, the computer game.  I own the original discs which I have kept in a cool area, in their original case, in a box.

 

I was able to create an image of the first disc no problem, but disc 2 gives L-EC Uncorrectable Error.  It will retry 20 times before failing.  At the end it says 'IO Error.'

 

When I put the CD in it autoloads up fine, so why can't IMGBurn burn it?

 

I ran the disc under cool water and then wiped it and let it try.  Unfortunately that made no difference...
 

Here is the log for you.

I expect disc 1 is used for installation and disc 2 is required when you actually run the game?

 

Copy protection has been around for ages. It'll either be safedisc or securom.

I find this hard to believe.  Disc 1 and 2 are both used for installation, I cannot remember which is actually used as the play disc.

 

I have already made backups of other games I own like Diablo and Oblivion and had no problems.

 

Doesn't ImgBurn say 'This disc is copy protected!' if that's the case?

 

How can I get around this?

Ok well it looks like you were right...

After some google searches, Disc 2, and only Disc 2 is protected by SafeDisc.  I confirmed it by looking at the Daemon Tools database.

 

That said, I still cannot create an image from this disc.  I tried it in Daemon Tools and I get this...

What do I do now?  Does this mean my disc is damaged or is this some SafeDisc trick?  I figured if IMGBurn cannot create an image, Daemon Tools could.

Read operation had hit a ECC/EDC bad (recoverable) block (824)
Disc imaging failed.

It only says a disc is copy protected when CSS or ACSS is detected. That's done by querying the drive. You can't query the drive to find out if a disc uses safedisc or securom etc.

 

You'll have to ask for help over at the DT forum now I'm afraid, I can't help you beyond what I've already said.
