    Default CD / DVD Copying

    All my CD and DVD copying needs these days are covered by Power ISO.
    However I have one particular CD ( a program named Board Maker, used in the disabilities industry) that I'm finding difficult to copy.

    Can any one recommend a Disc copying programme that may do what I need ??

    Thanks
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    The problem I have is I can install from the original and it works fine, however the CD is required to be left in the drive throughout programme use.
    Regardless of what form of copy I attempt (Power ISO / Juggler / Alcohol) the programme will not work with copies left in the player, indeed the programme (once installed from the original) will not even fire up if a copied CD is in the player.

    Bloody annoying

    Have you considered using a program like Magic ISO ?

    I have a heap of ancestry database CD's..... a pain in the arse to have to change CD's everytime you access a different database. So I ripped all the discs to ISO files and installed Magic ISO.
    Basically what it does is create virtual CD/DVD drives so the computer thinks you have multiple drives installed. You install an iso to a virtual drive and their it stays....no disc required.

    If you are using a Windows machine I recommend a program called CloneCD.

    I have used it for many years. It will copy anything.
