INTRODUCTION

HINT

Nero uses both Nero Express and

Nero Burning ROM to copy CDs

and DVDs. We’ll burn a copy in

Nero Express and show you how

to begin the same process in Nero

Burning ROM.

Using One CD or DVD

Burner

If you have only one CD or

DVD recorder, choosing the

same recorder for source and

destination will tell Nero to first

copy your files to a temporary

directory on the hard drive and

then complete the copy.

Choosing a Destination

Recorder

In Nero Burning ROM, you

need to select a different desti-

nation recorder, like an image

file, before opening the New

Compilation window.

Click the drop-down list to select a Destination Drive.

Click Copy.

Nero Express begins copying the source disc to the destination you selected (disc,

temporary file, or a disc image).

Copying Options

For a destination recorder you

can select a second CD or DVD

recorder, or the Image Recorder

to create a saved disc image.

The easiest way to copy a disc is

using Nero Express with two CD

or DVD burners. But you can also

use just one drive, and have the

information first copied to a tem-

porary file or disc image.

Be Careful with

Copyrights

Remember that reproducing

copyrighted material, whether it

is music, video, or computer

programs, can get you into a

lot of trouble. Check the license

rules of software to determine

your rights.

Quick Copy is Risky

Selecting Quick Copy in the

panel will bypass making a

temporary disc image prior to

burning, and may result in

errors. If you’re really in a

hurry, and can afford to waste

a blank CD, try Quick Copy to

see if your system supports it.

Or, if you prefer, in Nero Burning ROM, you click to choose CD Copy for a new

compilation.

Check the destination drive to make sure it’s the recorder you want to use.

Choose the source drive from the drop-down list.

Click Copy to begin the burn.

Reburning a Disc Image

File

By saving your disc image to a

file first, you can re-burn the

same information again without

opening the compilation.
