it it possible to make a data disc into just an image for copying?

so you're not copying specific files, but a disk image? basically, a way to get around watermarking?

i'm confused, clairfy please?

so you;re not copying files as a file. but as a copy. so the software doesnt read the files, just copies and pastes em. a disk image.

Still aren't making much sense to me......

use nero or cdrwin... make images of the cd.

i dunno

 

[Walleye]

lets say... hypothetically, if you were to have a cd, one that was watermarked and copy protected... could you... potentially, make a disc image of it, and copy it, the watermark, and everything else along, and put it on the hard drive then move that to a blank cd?

Yes, that's the whole idea of utilities that create an ISO image of a CD and outputs the image to a file on your HDD. However, the best current copy protection technologies are not perfectly reproduced in the resulting image or when they are reproduced on the CD-R during the burn process. Most however are if you use a utility like CloneCD and reading/writing methods like RAW-DAO/96.
