Preparation
1
Download and install the freeware program "imgburn" located at: http://www.imgburn.com/.
2
Run Imgburn and select "Create Image File." If you do not see these options, navigate to the "Mode" menu in the program toolbar, and select "EZ Mode Picker".
3
Ensure that the disc you wish to copy is inserted into your CD drive; select this drive as "Source." Click the file icon under "Destination" to choose the location and file name for the copied disc image.
4
Click on the large "Read" icon at the bottom of the program window to begin the copy. When the process is complete you will have a disc image file containing the data on the copied disc. This file can be run by a virtual drive program such as Daemon Tools, or can be burned onto a new disc using the "Copy Image to Disc" option from the main menu of imgburn.
Tips & Warnings
Occasionally the disc burning process can fail despite using a valid image file, if this occurs try lowering the write speed to a setting below 8x.
