I used easy cd creator with a 80 min cd. I made a disc image then burned it,
you will need the new hlf-life patch for the game to run though

Maybe the fact that did not get *any* replies to your previous post should
give you CLUE!!

Here's what I did: First you get the actual HL CD, not a blank (after all,
you can't burn HL by burning a blank, can you?). Then you pour kerosene over
it. I suggest making a fuse out of a bit of paper so that you don't
accidentally burn yourself in the burning process. Now use a match or a
lighter, whichever you prefer, to light your fuse, and voila! You've
successfully burned Half-Life!

Wait, did you mean like CD-R recording? Whoops.

Why don't you try asking somebody in alt.binaries.cd.images? There's enough
binary cd NGs that are better able to answer this question. We just talk
about the game itself here (and how newbies are stupid, and how to beat the
Blast Pit, and why your video card sucks, and why binaries don't belong
here, and the state of connection speeds across the world, and how much
better Unreal is, and...)

Did you use butane or propane to burn them?

You're taking my response out of context. I was jokingly explaining what
gets discussed in here, i.e., NOT burning or warezing. But, I'm not
surprised you did. A lot of people here will just bitch over anything.
(personally I can't understand the hype over Unreal, I thought it blew)
Happy misconstruing! I could give a fuck!

I regretfully appologise for not detecting the apparently mild dosing of
scarcasm your post had.
To each and everyone, I appologise for wasting bandwidth.

What's your problem? I told him a better place to ask his question than
here. Then I made a joke. THAT'S ALL. I haven't seen him get a response on
how to burn it here either, so maybe I was right. I'm not a NG cop and have
no desire to be. If you don't like what I have to say, then just plonk me.
Don't bother trying to troll me into a flame war, dude; you'll just lose
anyway. Besides, they're boring and have nothing to do with a.g.h-l. bye-bye

The problem you are having is that the HL CD has both data and music tracks.
Most copy programs lump them all into one big track. Try using Nero Burning
ROM, by ahead software, it is the most sophisticated copy software I've seen.

Yeah, sure, just light up a fire, and throw it into the hot red flames and
watch it burn... Melt baby melt!

>I've ruined 3 blank discs so far & am still no closer to burning it.

What? Only 3 blank discs and not one flame burnt it? Wow, you gotta teach me
that magical trick you pulled...

>Tried burning from an image and also
>direct copy but no go. Any tips.... Thanx in advance

Okay, here's the deal:
1. If you own a US version, then it is possible to make a duplicate of the game
without hassle.
2. If you own any other than the US version, then you're doomed. Can't be done
with, well, sorta.

If 1 is your choice, then you need to copy the game by tracks, or burn the game
exactly how it is (duplicate copy straight from CD to CD, mirroring it).

If 2, then you need to find a 80 minute disc to burn the game on, because the
CD is bigger than a regular 74 minute CD-R disc.

Hey, I have burned 3 or 4 copies of half life. But i have burned it on a
$10,000 burner with 6 scsi 4*12 drives, so that might be the difference
but, I burn it by putting the cd in the first drive and set the software
to copy from cd to hardrive and burn the cd from the harddrive and i have
no problems with it at all. Later,
