Can I make a backup of my Vista DVD from within Vista?

I want to backup my Vista install DVD. Can I do this from within Vista
without a third-party app?

============================
I don't think Vista natively has the
ability to copy DVDs.

Maybe the free software...ImgBurn
would be worth a try...it can make
an image of the original and then
burn the image onto another DVD
blank. (instructions below)

Good luck...
