From point 4 on follow the steps in the order that they are listed.
1. The drive in your XP sounds as though it's dead. Try a new one.
2. Use the original discs to make your backups. Don't use your backups to make backups (this introduces the possibility of trying to copy bad burns or burned copies that are dying over time).
3. Don't use junk blank media. Use Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (not Valueline). Don't use Memorex, generic Maxell that you can find everywhere (Maxell Broadcast Quality is excellent, however), Princo, TDK from Costco, Ritek, etc. If you use junk blank media, you should expect problems.
4. Use Anydvd 6.4.0.7 beta: click

You may need to reboot after installing if prompted to do so.
5. Click the red fox icon on your toolbar. Click "default". Click "ok".
6. If you use DVDShrink, Nero Recode, or programs that generally can't handle structural protections, right-click on the fox icon on your toolbar and select "Rip video-dvd to Hard Disk". Choose your source and destination paths. Click "Copy", and wait for Anydvd ripper to finish. You can then import that rip into whatever program you want. This is an important step if the original disc contains structural protection.
