CD is cloned with no error message and log is perfect. However, the last few sectors are damaged. Tried several times, got the same results.
It turns out, that when CD reader returns garbage in MODE field (next to a sync pattern), sector is not detected by CloneCD as corrupted, but becomes one shortly after that, when image is being saved to a hard drive.
I am sorry for a messy explanation. Will try to explain, using some examples. I didn't want to ruin that CD of mine, so I decided to recheck the whole thing by making a small custom CD image and mount it with Daemon Tools.
I got the same results.
Good sector (a first 4 rows of bytes should be enough, the rest of the block is filled with zeroes)
(the whole CD is using MODE == 2)
The same sector with wrong MODE field, returned by a faulty CD reader (?)
n.b.: While reading this CD, both IsoBuster and ImgBurn detects an error at this stage, but CloneCD does not.
The same sector, as it will be saved by a CloneCD

P.S. English is not my native, so there is always a chance for me to sound weird and funny. Sorry about that.
