Hi,
If you want an exact copy of that CD, you should use the utility
application Disk Utility. The procedure goes like this:
1. Insert original CD.
2. Run Disk Utility.
3. Select the CD volume from the outline view.
4. From the File Menu, Select New submenu New Disk Image from Selected volume.
5. Save the disk image somewhere on your hard disk.
6. Eject the original CD.
7. Select from the Images menu the menu item Burn...
8. From the Dialog, find the image file you just saved and follow
the final instructions.
Although Tim's steps are ok too, the disk utility technique will
preserve the exact file structure and not add any finder store files
or any other hidden files to the copy.
But, if you own Toast, you can just contextually click on the CD and
select "Toast It!"

Hi Keith,
You said: maybe i should have said that i wish to copy it to
another CD. sorry.
TK: Not much different. Simply put your blank CD into the drive on
your MacBook, a dialog should appear asking you what you'd like to
do with the blank CD, choose "open the Finder" if it isn't already
chosen. Once in the Finder, an item named "Untitled CD" will appear
on your Desktop, you can rename it if you'd like using regular
renaming conventions. After that, simply follow the instructions
outlined in my previous post below to copy the selected items from
the original CD to the blank one that should be on your Desktop.

You asked: can anyone tell me how to copy a data CD using my Macbook?
TK: You can either select the icon representing the Data CD on
your Desktop, then press cmd-c to copy it to the clipboard, then
navigate to where you wish to put it and press cmd-v to paste it
there, or, open the Data CD, press cmd-a to select all its items,
then cmd-c to copy andthen navigate to the place you wish to put
it and then press cmd-v to paste.
HTH.
Later...
