I would like to know if there is a way to copy a cd without using recordnow

or sonic? I have Windows XP and only have one CD-ROM.

A program that will read the contents of the drive and convert it to

a .ISO module. Once in that format it can be re-expanded/written

to a blank disk.

Several programs can do this, such as IsoBuster or ImgBurn.

Probably. When I had only one CD player in my home PC I used Nero to

copy a CD. I'm sure there are many other options as many people only

have one CD in their PC.

Copy.(drag&drop) the contents to an empty folder on your HD

Use XP's native burning program to burn the contents only to a CD

What kind of CD and where to, (another CD or HDD as a disk image?)

 

If you just want data from the CD, you can just copy the files to the HDD,

then copy them back to the disk. For the most part there is no practical

difference between a creating a disk iso and copying a disk as described

above. If it's a music CD, then that won't work. You would need to rip the

files in wav or mp3 format, then create an audio disc with your software.

 

Why can't you use Sonic?

 

Most programs will function the same way. If you have one CDRW drive they

make a temp copy of the disk, then prompt you to put in the blank CD, then

write the CD.

 

If you want a clearer answer, post exactly what you want to do and what you

have to do it with.

Yes. You want to make an image of the CD. There are lots of tools for

creating ISO images from CDs.

 

If you're trying to make copies of bootable CDs, this is one of the only

ways to do it. Simply copying files will not make the copy bootable.
