To make a copy of a CD or a DVD, called rippung, open Windows Explorer to
Computer or My Computer, depending on the version of Windows. An easy way
to do this is press Windows + E. Arrow to the CD/DVD drive and press the
Applications key. In the context menu that appears, select "Create image
from CD/DVD". This will start the wizard to create an ISO file.
To burn an CD/DVD image from an ISO file, locate the file in Windows
Explorer. Again, press the Applications key and select "Burn image" or
"Open with > ISO Recorder". This will start the wizard to copy the image
downloaded or previously ripped back to a CD or DVD disk.
I think working with DVD disks is only available on Vista and Windows 7.
Windows XP does not support this.
This is especially useful for disks that are bootable, because a simple cut
and paste of all of the files on the disk will not copy everything and can
not easily made to boot again.

Don,
Downloaded and installed this neat looking tool but don't
see how to use it? I don't see how to launch the wizard you
discuss from the desktop or start/programs menu. How do you
launch this?

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.

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
