What I need is some help from a CD-R Expert, I saw once that on the tomb raider cd that there are three files that each is about 1 GB, so when you goto copy the cd it doesn't work of course, but if you copy all the files except these three hidden files and then burn them no problem, so my guess is these files are fonies, just fakes, is there a way to burn a cd with these kind of fake files on them to make the cd look bigger? so no one can just direct copy it, or any other process you may know of?

Don't think that method will work these days
as most cdr programs don't try and copy the
files, rather make a bit-for-bit duplicate
of the CD. This way you can write oversized
files, bad sectors and other security
features that would normally stop you from
copying them before.

As to how it is done, you've got me
intrigued. If i find out I'll let you know.
