How to Copy Disc?

The Copy Disc function allows you to make an exact copy of a disc. However, you must copy the disc contents onto a blank disc of the same disc type. (You cannot, for example, copy content from a CD onto a DVD.) The Copy Disc function also allows you to create or burn disc images.

Note: Some discs may not be copied if they are copy-protected or contain errors.

Copying Discs

The procedures for copying a disc from inside the CyberLink Power2Go program or in Power2Go Express mode are very similar. Only the first step for opening the Copy Disc window is slightly different.

To copy a disc, do this:

1. Open the Copy Disc window.
   
   
   
   
   • Power2Go mode: In the "Select a Burning Task" window, click the Copy Disc icon, then select Copy Disc.
   • Power2Go Express mode: Double-click the Copy Disc Power2Go Express Classic icon or click on the Windows Vista Gadgets sidebar Copy Disc icon.
2. Select your source and target drives.
3. Click Copy. CyberLink Power2Go burns the copied data onto the disc.
4. When burning is complete, select an option in the dialog box that opens:
   • Click View Log to view the burning log. The log opens in your default TXT editor, where you can view and save it.
   • Click OK to close then dialog and then exit.

Saving a Disc Image

Saving a disc image onto your hard drive is useful for backing up your discs onto your hard drive for future burning tasks.

To save a disc image, do this:

1. In the "Select a Burning Task" window, click Copy Disc and then select Save Disc Image.
2. Insert your disc. If necessary, select your source drive in the From drop-down box.
3. Enter the destination folder and disc image file name in the To entry box, or click Browse..., select a folder and enter the disc image file name.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Save to save the disc image.
5. When saving is complete, select an option in the dialog box that opens:
   • Click View Log to view the log. The log opens in your default TXT editor, where you can view and save it.
   • Click OK to close then dialog and then exit.
   
   
   
   
   

Burning a Disc Image

A disc image is a duplicate of the content and file structure that is destined to be burned to disc. Using CyberLink Power2Go, you can burn a disc image to a disc. Burning a disc image to disc allows you to restore a saved disc image to disc as well as burn disc images created by the CyberLink Image Recorder.

To burn a disc image, do this:

1. In the "Select a Burning Task" window, click Copy Disc and then select Burn Disc Image.
2. Click Browse... and locate the disc image.
   
   
   
   
3. Insert your disc and select your drive in the drop-down list.
4. Click Burn to start burning it to disc.
5. When burning is complete, select an option in the dialog box that opens:
   • Click View Log to view the burning log. The log opens in your default TXT editor, where you can view and save it.
   • Click OK to close then dialog and then exit.
