Hello Phil,

     Those BBC discs are protected by SafeDisc, therefore, you'll need
     to copy them in RAW-DAO mode.

     Check the CloneCD website, to see if your burner supports this
     mode (www.elby.ch).

     SafeDisc can be copied in Windows using Alcohol 120%, CloneCD,
     BlindWrite, ddump/fireburner or possibly DAEMON Tools - or a
     combination of these apps.

     Nero doesn't have a hope in hell of copying this! Also, SafeDisc
     won't run off a CDR disc in your burner. This can be fixed by using
     CloneCD or Alcohol 120%'s "Hide CDR Media" features.
