I'm trying to make a backup (an iso image) of an old cd, but I'm getting the error message "K3b can only copy CD-Extra mixed mode CDs", any idea how to fix it?
I saw in a forum telling to check the missing programs on the configurations, but nothing is missing now and I'm still getting this error.
Using K3B 2.0.2, and Ubuntu 11.10.

You can't create an ISO because they only store a single track, and mixed CD's have multiple tracks. Instead, you have to clone the CD. To do this in K3b, first click Copy CD; then on the Options tab, change Copy Mode to Clone Copy. Then copy the CD like normal.
K3b should also create a TOC file to go along with the CD image. K3b can then use both of those files to burn a copy of the original CD.

Something to try:
1Put the master disk in Start K3b Use the copy CD(or DVD) tool On Options select "Only create image" On Image enter path info and a file name for the new image On Advanced check the "Ignore read errors" box Then select start
