Cd burning/iso

[Guest]

hello all,
can somebody please tell me how to burn to a disk, so that it is bootable or
exactly the same as source disk, i am throwing disk after disk away because i
never bought reusable ones, silly me!
i need to do this to copy cd's like cfs3 etc to use the copies rather than
originals that my son keeps scratching when i'm out.

Many thanks.

You'll need a third-party CD burning program,
such as Nero (http://ahead.de/en/Products.html).

Some disks do not allow copying, you may want to check with the vendor.
Otherwise, most major CD burning software can do a disk copy - Nero, Roxio,
Alcohol, just to name a few.

Rick,

What do you mean "cd's do not allow copying?"

What do you mean "cd's do not allow copying?"

Protection schemes and/or terms of licensing probably.

If you are refering to games there is a chance a copy won't work.
