making a copy of a cd on windows vista!!!

HugoSP

It's only the 2nd of january and I have already posted what will probably be the most stupid question this year!

How do I make a copy of a CD?

Not even Vista Help recognises such a simple question.

Insert a blank CD in the CDR and it ought to come up with a list of options.

I can thoroughly recommend IsoRecorder

Very simple, just right click the CD drive you wish to copy and select "Copy CD to CD"

Make sure you end up with an .ISO image.

Or the copy may not be bootable, then from the ISO image you can burn as many copies as you like.

No

My brain has gone to sleep big time!!!!

I have a CD

I wish to make a copy of it.

Obviously I need to copy the CD to a temp location of some sort then burn what I have copied onto another CD

But how?

I told you it was a stupid question!!

That's fine - it tells me how to burn a disk but I want to make an EXACT COPY OF AN EXISTING DISK.

I know that part of this process involves burning a disk, but that doesn't get the files off the original disk and where to put them.

With the old discopy commands in dos and the earlier windows options the facility would dump a copy of the original disk somewhere and then copy them back to the new disk.

get a trial of nero if you want to do a 1-1 copy...

Thanks to all

ISO Recorder has just fired up.

We do have an old copy of Nero somewhere but the ISO recorder is currently under scruiteny. I didn't know it would be such an issue to do this - I would have thought there would be a facility with Windows to do this - obviously not.

I guess there must be a manual way to do this - can anyone tell me how please.

Thanks

You make a copy "image" on your hard drive. Then copy that to CD. You can do it with Windows, but a lot easier / quicker with a program like this >
