Unable to back up CD+G disk. Error message in Microstudio

[Newbie]

I just purchased Microstudio version 2.612 and have been able to back up a couple of my Karaoke CD's. But I have several that I am unable to back up. I am using a Plextor PX-712SA and Windows XP Media Editon. I have received the following error message:

ERROR:Unable to analyze disk lay out
Illegal track type encountered

So then I tried to import the tracks and received the following error message:

ERROR Unable to read audio sectors 91582 to 91607 on device 0:1:0
Illegal command request (04h 00h 02h 05h 64h 00h)

OR

Unable to read audio sectors 0 to 25 on device 0:1:0
Illegal command request (04h 00h 02h 05h 64h 00h)

Before purchasing the software I searched through this forum and it said that the Plextor PX-712A is fully supported by Microstudio. The one error message after searching states that if you receive that error message the drive does not support CD+G. However, my drive is not on that list and it has been able to back-up some of my other Karaoke CD's so that is not the case. Also, as earlier stated Microstudio said that this drive is fully supported.

This is very frustrating and ANY help to an end is GREATLY appreciated.

Your problem is not the drive or MicroStudio. The problem is that the disk you are trying to back up is using a copy protection that prevents reading the tracks on a computer but doesn't affect your CDG player. Sound Choice has a few disk that use this. The only way I have been able to back-up these disks is with CloneCD.

Would you might explaining how you used CloneCD? Preferably step by step. I tried to use CloneCD but it only recorded the music and not the graphics. Thanx
