I'm trying to copy a .DAT file from a VCD to my hard drive.

When I try to copy it via explorer it will copy for around a minute then the process will stop. What I do notice at this time is my CD-ROM is making a clicking sound every other second (its a very low sound but if you put your hand to the drive tray you can feel a light 'kick' every other second).

I can watch the entire movie with Windows Media Player and PowerDVD.

I also tried to copy the movie using PowerDirector Pro but it wouldn't go past 7 minutes 9 seconds (this is about the same period the file stopped copying in explorer.

I also tried making an image of the movie using Alcohol120 but it stopped around the same time.

So basically, I can WATCH the movie with a movie player such as PowerDVD, but when I try to copy the movie to my hard drive using several methods, it does not work.

Any suggestions?
