What is the best way to copy a CD?

Answer 1

Some new programs may be able to pass through the read only protection, if your program does not you will have to copy to hard drive first, then disable the "read-only" attribute of files by right-clicking files, and selecting "properties". In properties un-check the box "read only" and save.

To copy files to hard drive you will have to use "Command Prompt" accessible from the start menu, or you can go start>run>cmd.exe

Once in command prompt the command to copy read only files is xcopy:

xcopy (directory to copy from ex. e:\) destination (enter destination parameters here) and hit enter

for more information you can also use the command: xcopy /?

if still in trouble try to Google xcopy

Answer 2

You can use the xcopy command to remove the read-only attribute while you are copying files from a CD-ROM. Xcopy.exe resets the read-only attributes unless you specify otherwise by using the /k switch (this switch copies attributes). To use this method: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK. 3. Type xcopy drive letter:\*.* destination /e /h, where drive letter is the CD-ROM drive letter and destination is the path to the destination for the files, and then press ENTER. For more information about command-line switches for Xcopy.exe, type xcopy /? at a command prompt.
