More information would be helpful.

Hi,

since Windows CDs are not copy protected, there is either a problem with your system configuration or the media you are using.

As mciahel already mentioned windows discs aren't protected follow his advice. Thread moved and I edited the thread title as WinDoze-Coasters is not a good info for others who want to help or have a similar problem

TwoDrums · 04-09-2007

i'm still making coasters after trying alcohol120%,Blindwrite6,.also in ISO mode, and Nero with 3 different burners

,.after all this i was convinced WinXP-Pro-SP2-MCE has to be protected,.sooo,.i downloaded BurnOut and scanned that damned Windoze disk,.interesting result=SafeDisk 3.2-4 (version remove , question is i'm not familiar with this protection and have no idea what to use to get around it,.any ideas???

ohyaaa,.i also scanned WinXP-Pro-SP2(2002) result=Armadillo

what the heck is that???,.my nice pile of Windoze coasters are now being converted to skeet pigeons,.Grrrr

**kalas** · 04-09-2007

This is a false result we already had this in the past where windows should have been protected by safedisc, etc... can't find the thread right now.
Windows original discs aren't protected and as mentioned before follow mciahel links as your problem is not related to any copy protection.

p.s. Deleted your thread in the copy protection forum no need to apologize, you're welcome.

CloneCD makes a perfect backup.

Nero too.

This is an easy copy project--the only thing you have to worry about is keeping the copy bootable.

Download ImgBurn. Use ImgBurn to READ the original disc to ISO. Use ImgBurn to WRITE the ISO to CD-R. Done.

Try this link from HelpWithWindows.com. It is primarily for slipstreaming a service pack and making a new bootable CD... Should give you all the information you need.

Very nice SithTracy. Great information.

RVM Integrator and nLite also work great for windows modifying and creating an iso.
