I am not sure I understand exactly what you are attempting to do in your
situation. Are you wanting to make backups of essential CDs, such as
Windows XP? If so, I think you want a utility that will make an ISO file
copy of the CD. It will make an exact image of the CD into one container
file. It will even capture the boot information if the disk is bootable.
It will not directly let you look at individual files without a special
archive style program. It will also not work with most copy protected CDs,
such as games. An ISO file can be burnt back to a blank disk at any time or
some programs can be used to mount the file just as if you inserted the
disk.
There are many utilities to work with ISO files. My favorite is called ISO
Recorder. It provides simple wizard style dialogs to rip (copy from disk to
file) and burn (copy from file to disk). It will also work with DVD data
disks, which can contain 4.7 GB of storage, on Vista and Windows 7.

on things that matter.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] copping programs to a external drive
Hello, I am new at this so forgive me if it comes off as a stupid
question! I am trying to put all my programs that are on cd on my extneral
drive. Do I need to use nero to do this or can I simplely copy all the
folders that are on the cd to the drive renameing it with the program
title? Someone said something about virtualizing the program first.
thank you Heather
