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.

working on things that matter.

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
