Can't Copy CDs

Trying to copy the 3 CDs that came with my son's new Dell laptop, because
the disks are guaranteed to be lost in the dustballs in his dorm room, and
one day, he'll need them. I have no trouble making copies of any other CDs,
but Nero simply refuses to recognize the presence of these particular disks
in the CD drawer. I can understand that MS might copy protect the Vista CD,
but it seems I should be able to copy the Dell driver & utility CD.

What happens:

- Upon inserting the CD, I get a "wanna continue?" dialog of one kind or
another. I cancel this.
- Start Nero, tell it "copy CD". The menu screen vanishes, and the CD
copying screen pops up.
- The "burn" button is greyed out, and I'm stuck. This NEVER happens with
any CDs except these.

Anyone have a clue?

Are these Vista CDs? If so, they are probably DVDs. Does your Nero copy
DVDs? Maybe you need the latest Nero upgrade?

Well, I'll be darned. Right there in the small print: They *are* DVDs.
Thanks for the slap upside the head.
