(though from fragment you provided in 1st post it's already apperant it comes from empty Mode1 sector with LBA:128015
which is expected last data track sector)

No idea how to do this

If I understand you right though I just shouldn't worry too much about the message and try to go with +1356

LGs aren't swappable, IIRC. Try to insert some CD, then insert a pin into the eject hole -- all the LG drives I've seen eject the tray automatically.

About D8 -- what does px_d8 write? Also try to run this cachex tool: "cachex -i -p d:" (use a letter of your drive instead of d:), if you have SPTD drivers installed on your system - uninstall them (otherwise, info will be incorrect).

Without a CloneCD (hydr0x, google it and you'll find it) sub I don't know if we can determine real gaps. Then if there's some data sectors in audio they can be easily converted with the tool for descrambling ** in old dctools package, I'll upload if needed. The only thing to find out is real offset, if D8 command will work after the above clue, you will have no problem.

** It matched all dumps here with those sectors I need to convert.
