CD Copier Tips

The following sections provide useful information related to making
backup copies of CDs using CD Copier.

Testing Your CD Copier Setup

Due to technical limitations of CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW drives,
not every kind of CD can be copied perfectly. Problems can arise
from both the source CD-ROM drive and the source CD.

We recommend that you always select Test & Copy (in the Source
and Destination tab) when copying CDs; however it is possible to
make an unusable copy of a CD without getting any error messages.
This might happen, for instance, if your source CD had data
between the tracks or other copy protection features.

Source CD-ROM Drives for CD-to-CD Copying

To copy directly from a source CD in a CD-ROM drive to a blank CD
in your CD recorder, you must have either a supported SCSI 2
CD-ROM drive (see the drive’s guide for information) or a sup-
ported ATAPI drive to use as your source.

However, not all CD-ROM drives are equal. When you insert a CD
into your source drive and select the drive in the Source and Desti-
nation tab, Easy CD Creator tests both the drive and the CD. The
tests determine whether the selected drive can successfully read the
selected CD. If not, an error message is displayed.

Setting

Description

Current CD
Recorder Speed

Select the speed at which you want to create the backup copy of
the CD. For greater certainty, record at 1x.

Disc Copy

Select this option to copy the source CD to your hard drive first
to speed up the recording process if you are making more than
one copy of a CD. Once the source has been copied to your
hard drive, CD Copier records the disc copy to the CD.

Select Location

To make a disc copy, type in a different location to store the
image file if you do not want to use the Temp directory.
