or a scratched disc.

 

i know that there is a form of copy protection existing where they added "bad sectors" on purpose but i don't know if halo has it ... i was able to copy my own halo disc just fine. (halo 1 that is - did not try halo 2 because i lost the key anyways)

Im copying the original halo disk also the disk is in the same condition as last time i did it. Also i think your right because it failed to read over 500 sectors

try again and see if it still has problems ... if it has, it's probably copy protection ...

 

to combat this you can disable hardware/software retry in imgburn so it just skips over the "damaged" sectors and does not waste hours on retries.
