Use the long listing function of 'ls'. You will see a link count > 1 and a reference to where the file is linked to if it is a link. Without a link it is a copy.

I copied the folders and files from Linux bootable CD and now i want to make bootable CD from files and folder which I've copied How can i do this?

The easiest way is to not copy the files and folders in the first place, just copy the CD itself. If you want to make a bootable CD from scratch, most CD-burning software includes that option. If you don't have that option, there are plenty of freeware tools on the internet that you can download for this purpose. Typically you will create an ISO image of the CD from a folder structure and then burn the image.

What can be done with excess hard drive space?

You can use it for redundancy in order to make your data more reliable. All you need to do is simply make copies of the files you wish to be less likely to be lost, to anywhere on the hard drive. The only problem with that is if you don't know how to access those files without running your operating system then they might be lost anyway. But you can simply take your hard drive to some computer store and tell them where the copied files are and they can put them on a disk for you with little to no cost.

What was the room called where books were copied by hand?

The room where books were copied was called the scriptorium. According to the article linked below, specific rooms permanently established for copying books were rare. The scriptorium was more usually simply a place conveniently located where scribes could make copies, such as a place where people could sit by windows. A specific room remained a scriptorium only when large numbers of books had to be copied, and once that job was done, copying was likely to be done in any convenient place with good light.
