Hi Gina. Hope the notes pasted below may be of some use.
Using Nero to copy a CD 1. You can configure Nero to present the new compilation dialogue in preferences. To do this: a. Press Alt + F to open the File Menu. b. Arrow down to Preferences and press enter c. Press spacebar on the first checkbox to check start with New compilation d. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar to save the settings. 2. Now when you start Nero, you will see the new compilation dialogue and you will be placed on the multisession tab. 3. To copy a CD: a. Press shift + tab until you reach the combo box that allows you to select what task you wish to perform. This will usually be defaulted to CD-ROM which is used for data compilations. b. Arrow down in the list until you reach CD-Copy c. You will now be placed in the Burn tab. If you have used Nero to copy a number of CD’s you won’t need to change anything on any of the other tabs but it is useful to review the details. d. Press shift + tab until you reach the Burn tab and then use your left arrow to move through the tabs until you reach the Image tab. e. Use the tab key to review the controls on this tab. The only two real controls of interest are the “Delete image after burning” and the path to which the image file will be saved. If you are unlikely to burn multiple copies of CD’s at a given time then it is recommended that you check the delete image control. However, if you do wish to burn multiple copies of a CD then you may wish to save the image and burn from this later rather than have Nero read the source CD again to perform the subsequent copies. f. Press tab until you reach Image tab again and use the right arrow to review the next tab. g. The Copy Options tab again has two controls that are of interest. The “on the fly” control and the combo box that allows you to select which of your drives will be used for the source CD. Best results are obtained by allowing Nero to create an image of the source CD so it is advisable to uncheck the “on the fly” control. Ensure that the drive where you have inserted your source CD is selected in the combo box. Nero will already have detected your burner. h. Press tab until you reach Copy Options tab and then use the right arrow key to review the next tab. i. Most of the controls on the Read Options tab will be set as required by default. However you may wish to tab to the “Use jitter correction” control and check this to obtain best results. This will slow the copy down but it’ s worth the extra time needed to get the best copy possible. j. Press tab until you reach Read Options tab and use the right arrow to review the controls on the next tab k. The Burn tab has a number of controls of interest. Best results are obtained by checking the check box for “Determine maximum speed” and “Simulation”. Check the check box to “Write” check box and select the speed at which you wish to burn in the combo box. Best results are achieved by slowing the burn down as slow as your patience will allow. Set the write method to disc-at-once if it is not already selected, set the number of copies as appropriate and tab to the Copy button. l. If you have your source CD and a blank CD in your drives, press spacebar to begin the Copy. 4. It is advisable to close all other running applications before starting the burn as the process is very processor intensive. 5. If you would rather not have Nero start with the new compilation dialogue or you accidentally dismiss the dialogue before starting the copy, you can open the dialogue from the file menu. a. Press alt + F to open the File Menu b. Arrow down until you reach CD-Copy and press enter c. Follow the instructions as outlined above 6. If you have the Nero wizard enabled then you will see a subset of the controls detailed here but for those that are offered to you by the wizard, the same principles apply.
