Disc 1 only had 11 errors, but disk 3 has quite a lot and continues throwing errors until it hangs. Should I try a different drive? From what I understand only disc 1 should have errors.

This is Age of Empires III Collectors Edition. Disc reads fine when I'm not trying to rip it.

There should be 10 errors max for SmartE, so your disc 3 is prolly damaged. Are you using DIC with a plextor drive?

Yeah, 760A but I'm using CD Manipulator

Disc 3 is flawless from a quick glance and it's also from a brand new/sealed package, but it looks like I'm getting a different number of errors when I try dumping it on my laptop's drive. Errors all near the end, but it does dump. Just sucks not having a second copy to compare it to in the db.

uhm, when I rip on my laptop it's getting 14 errors consecutively on first disc. 11 with my plextor.

Could this be an offset problem? I've got a few more drives with different offsets I can try, but I'm gonna have to hook the systems up.

Only DIC can rip it properly. There should be 10 errors...

Oh, I had no idea! The guide says to rip it just like safedisc.

I'll rip it with DIC asap. I'm assuming just ignoring errors is all I need to pass to it?
