Burning/Copying CDs (1 Viewer)

[sladehk]

Instead of burning cd to cd, is it possible to just copy the files to the hard drive and then from the hard drive back to an empty cd instead of burning directly cd-to-cd or making an image?

This is taken in the sense of a Language compiler program that require several cds for the whole program.

It would depend on the CD. Say for a music CD, then obviously not directly drag and dropping. For a data CD that should be fine assuming its a normal data CD. You won't get a bootable CD if you do that to a bootable data CD. It should be fine in VCDs/SVCDs/DVDs.

Please be more specific.

i tihnk what u are trying to say is to create an image and then put in the blank CD after the original and copy it

Set of CD/Writing tools:

Nero 6 - burning cd's, creating images
WinISO - making ISO images from scratch or direct from CD
DaeMon Tools / Phantom CD - reading images, creating virtual CD drives.
CloneCD - copying cd-cd, creating images, etc.

A combo of these programs should get where you want.

I use clone CD and its great (DVD version avaliable as well).
Unfortunately, they dont make it any more due to privacy/copyright issues - BUT you can still find and download it if u look hard enough!
Nero6 isnt bad either - ive got it and use it when burning ISOs.

In the event that it was visual studio, wouldn't copying it be breaking the law, and as such, isn't that advice which you, upstanding netizen that you are, shouldn't be giving out?

And what makes you think that personal backups are legal within Australia?

That's a possibility, I was just commenting that in the event that jm1234567890's guess was correct, copy protection avoidance advice was probably a bad idea on here.

Yeah, I can read... I was sort of wondering as to where the "if it's visual studio... do this to get around the copy protection" bit came into it
