Copying a game CD

[Walter Donavan]

Hello all,

This is probably the wrong newsgroup, so if someone knows the right one, I'd
appreciate being direct to it.

I want to make a backup copy of my old Sierra Family Fun Pack CD, but Nero 5
cannot copy it correctly--SFFP crashes when I try to run the backup, usually
with an error about the audio files.

SFFP is a Windows 95 program, (c) 1997, and it won't run on W2K, so I made a
dual boot system with WME and W2K.

Is there some way to copy this CD so I won't eventually lose my beloved
Hearts and Bridge games?

Thanks in advance.

Why not have a look for some alternative freeware versions of these games.
Alt.comp.freeware could point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the links, but--

I couldn't find any way to copy Sierra Family Fun Pack CD (Hoyle Classic
Games, 3-D Ultra Pinball, Print Artist Classic 3.0) at either site.

Try cdrwin from goldenhawk technologies
also look at using adaware to see if cdilla has been
installed on your system, this restricts some copying
actions.

Problem solved. I use Nero only for backups, so it didn't occur to me to try
the copy wizard. I tried it and Family Bundle copied perfectly. (Duh.)

Thanks to all.
