I'm just creating an iso of the disk to the hard drive.
-
So I have a 1 TB external hard drive and decided that I wanted to make ISO backup images of my hardcopy PC games (that I haven't replaced with digital copies yet) so when I wanted to install/play them instead of hunting through a stack of discs I could just navigate to my hard drive and install to there. I've had some problems however -
I've tried to create images from three games - Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, Battlefield 1942 and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga (2 discs) - of those three games, only Galactic Battlegrounds has succeeded in creating the iso files. Both discs worked perfectly fine. The other two games both gave me I/O errors before it even started making the ISO file. Thinking that maybe the disks were dirty or something, I cleaned them thoroughly to see if that would help but it didn't. Both games install fine but IMGburn won't read them. Here is a copy of the error I got from Battlefield 1942. Can anybody help me? I don't want to proceed further if I'm gonna have this problem on multiple games, thus wasting my time. I've tried different write speeds but nothing has worked.
I/O Error!

Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? I'd really like to finish making ISO's of all my games.

I found the solution! I discovered a program called magicdisc that's a virtual drive program and can create iso files. It was able to create iso files from all of my games!
