Problem :
Hi,
I use a tablet PC(IBM) to teach my class. This tablet PC doesn't have a CD/DVD drive.
And I have a software on a DVD, which I have installed.
But this software doesn't run, if the DVD is not present in the DVD drive.
I tried to copy the DVD contents as am image file using ImgBurn, but there was this error :

---------------------------
ImgBurn
---------------------------
I/O Error!

Device: [1:0:0] HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20L NC08 (F:) (ATA)

ScsiStatus: 0x02
Interpretation: Check Condition

CDB: BE 00 00 00 03 AD 00 00 01 10 00 00
Interpretation: Read CD - Sector: 941

Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 80 10 90 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Interpretation: Unknown (CRC or ECC Error) (0x10, 0x90)


I also tried to copy the CD contents as they are, but there is
a file named DATA.tsr, which is not being copied.
When I tried to copy through, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V,
I got this :
"Cannot read from the source file or disk".

I got similar errors when I tried to copy through command line.

How to get around this?

Solution:
I just ignored the Data.tsr file and copied the rest of the contents.
Then created an image using Imgburn and I was able to load
and run it with Daemon tools correctly.

PS :
I had also tried ddrescue(sudo apt-get install ddrescue) on this dvd in Ubuntu, but it was not
the correct approach, since, apparently the DVD was kept
intentionally corrupt in order to prevent any copies.
