This guide tries to explain how to create a copy protection with two kinds of software combined: CCD-Lock + TZ. By creating several images using different tools we try to create an almost uncopyable CD. Read on and learn how !
The guide has been made by techno (thanks!) and contains some images with the spanish language on this. CD Freaks and techno are not responsible for coasters, or other problems who may occur. The protection has been tested with several burning packages and seems to be very hard to copy. If you have questions mail the author and NOT CD Freaks.com.
System Configuration:
OS: Windows XP Home Edition 2600 English
Extras: Service Pack 1 beta 3 for XP systems
Mother board: Intel 815eea2
CPU: Intel Celeron 1.2 Ghz
RAM: 512 Mb
HardDrives: 2 Ide Samsung 80 GB
CD-RW: Lite-On 24102B (5s5a) “Lite-On Rulez!!!”
CD-Rom DVD: Lite-On LTD163D “DVD-Rom”
Software: (newer versions should also work)
Creating and mounting of the first image
Create with the help of WinIso an image of the data that should be protected.
When you are done, save the ISO image to any location on your Harddrive. Fire up Deamon Tools and mount the image you just have created.
Creating the second image:
To create the second image you will need to fire up CDRWin and extract a(n) (second) image from the Virtual CD-ROM image you mounted before. Make sure you save this image to another folder then the first image, so you won’t take the wrong image.
The CDRWin extraction does not need any special parameters.
Keep the cuesheet, we will need it later !
When you are done with the CDRWin extraction we are going to use TzCopy to put the first step of the protection on a disc. While using this software, use step 3 to change the size to 800 MB.
Now fire up CDRWin again and burn this image on a CD-RW disc. It’s a lot of work but the result will be worth it !
Creating the final image:
Now we are going to use CloneCD to extract the image from the CD-RW, we need to use CloneCD because CCD-Lock only recognizes CloneCD images.
Use the DataCD profile to extract the image from the CD-RW.
Now we are going to use CCD-Lock to protect the image we just extracted with CloneCD. Open CCD-Lock and load the .ccd image you just extracted.
The only thing you will have to do is to hit the protect button and make sure you pick the option: ‘Preserve the TOC’.
Burn the image with CloneCD and that’s all! You should now have a very well protected CD-R, that at least will stop your newbie/not CD Freaks reading friends from copying your disk.

This seems pretty cool, although I can't think of why I would want to protect a CD of mine. However, is there any way to unprotect your data after you follow this procedure or at least make a perfect backup?
- CloneCD 4.0.1.1.9 When did this come out?!
Typo, should be 4.0.1.9

*fixed* 
i have read about CCD-LOCK but i can not get a download of it can some one help me :4 
I haven't looked into how these protections work, but is it possible for someone to copy files off the disc to their hard drive to re-burn? Instead of trying to copy the CD. If so, I would have no use for this.
I can't see the reason for first making an image with WinISO, then mounting this image with DaemonTools and then making an image with CDRWin. Why can't you just make an image with CDRWin from the original? What's the use for mounting the image with DaemonTools? Can someone please explain this to me, I'm not quit familiar with this matter.
Hi, for all of you who want to download CCD-Lock and can't find it... http://www.burnarchive.com/CCD-Lock/. :7
could any one pleas tell me about a good copy protection program i will be thankfull
-> omarf: There is NO such a program in the world - almost every copycprotection can be beated today, except two prof. copyprotections: TAGES and SatrForce for the present - they use own CD just like PSX CD. As for TzCopy + CCD Lock - THIS IS USELESS COPYPROTECTION cuz many files (with CRC) on the CD can not by read at all whereas many others can be copyed very easily! :7
correction: SatrForce = StarForce
@Luki I guess you did never try to copy such an disc, did you? ...and btw. - TAGES unbeatable? *lmao :4

Can anyone please tell me how to copy the disk back to the hard disk. Otherwise there is no point in using the copyprotection
Hi, @bvinary_reddy: I couldn't copy that disc and also don't know about a way how to trick it. BTW.: Do you use copy-protection to make your disc copyable - stupid! :4
->burnarchive: And what about you? Have you ever successfully copyed TAGES or StarForce??? I suppose you haven't - so do not chatter! The news about copying of TAGES is ONLY THEORY! But there is a possibility to replacing the protected executable by a fixed executable... My opinion is based on general infos about it as here: http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_protections.shtml
@Luki: to be true I didn't copy Tages YET but there will soon be a software that can do... http://www.s-a-d.de/news.php?presse_id=191
Oops - wrong link - pardon me! Nothing to do with that!

->burnarchive Thanks for the enlightenment.:d But what is the use of copyprotection when u yourself cannot copy the disk back when u need it ??
@bvinay_reddy: Well, good question... If you protect this disc you almost got the original (you also need an Image of the Disc to make it protected) - so you can always create a copy of it. There are also some recorders, DVD-and CD-ROM that can still read the disc and make a copy of it. Just get the right device :7 @luki: As how I said - there will be a software that can copy TAGES ... check http://www.disc4you.de/news/august2002/082202_01.html ...hope you're satisfied now :4
-> burnarchive: No, I'm NOT yet :4 Except that there is a German text I don't understand, there is NOT any mention about TAGES! And even if, it is still about theroy! :7
@luki:Just await and you'll see that it's possible - btw. there aren't many disc's protected by TAGES, are there :d
Is there a good protection for PSX / PS2 CDs ?????
i think it is good protection thanx
This should be great, but all the pictures that probably show screenshots of the programs used, where to select, etc., they are all missing!!! I would really like to see it all! Thanks!!! Embo:c
