<t>I've been having a similar error that Hustle is reporting ever since I had to install a new HDD when my old one died. It used to work great without errors, but once I installed a new HDD, I had to install some drivers BEFORE installing Windows 7, otherwise I would get an error. Something about ...

<t>I've been using a Plextor drive on a USB enclosure forever and haven't had an issue until recently. I had to tweak the default memory for c2 from 65535 to 1024. Haven't tried a higher value than that, but most of the disc I dump don't need c2 error correction. Usually, when they have c2 issues ...

<t>That looks good. I managed to match the data track and the last audio track using a net image and it indeed shows more than 5000 errors. Track 2 was cut off on the net image but the hashes actually match some other dumps like Treasures of the Deep and one of the Playstation Underground dumps.<br ...

<t>Some CDs have mastering issues and errors can be normal. If you didn't get any errors while dumping (especially on isobuster), and you keep getting the exact same result everytime (hashes) even on different drives, then I think it should be a good dump.<br/>

Would you mind sharing the ...

<t>Maybe your drive doesn't read into lead-in/lead-out. Or maybe the pregap contains some data.<br/>
<br/>
Try this. Dump track 02 using isobuster "Extract from-to" you'd need to calculate the exact sectors so it includes the pregap too. Then manually fix the offset. If your combined offset is +48 ...

<t>Yea, if you keep getting different hashes, then that means either the disc is scratched, the drive has a weak laser, or a mix of both. That's why it's so important to dump more than once to make sure you get a consistent set of hashes, and it's preferred if you could dump in more than 1 drive as ...

<r>Voted yes, but the question can be misleading. It doesnt mean to switch to the tool clonecd and just dump everything with that tool. It just means if we should use the .ccd/.img/.sub format for cd dumps instead of current .bin/.cue<br/>
<br/>
Of course, I'd rather have a new format made where you ...

<r>Could you elaborate a bit more on how exactly to do this.

<t>Yea, can't submit anything if you don't get good dumps out of it. Ringcodes and the like wouldn't be much use if we don't have hashes. And there would still be no way to actually store the data on the DB without an entry. <br/>

Try getting it resurfaced at a local shop. If you dig around, I ...
