| 400464 | 2005-10-30 20:47:00 | I want to make a backup copy of my XP CD. Can I simply copy the contents to hard drive and burn directly to a blank CD? Thx. |

| 400466 | 2005-10-30 21:10:00 | perhaps not legal here in nz It's fine - just checked the EULA and it's permissable to make a single backup copy. | Greg (193) | ||
| 400467 | 2005-10-30 21:30:00 | Try using a program like Nero or K3b to copy the CD without hassles. OR you can use a third party program like Nlite (www.nliteos.com) bundled with RyanVM's Post SP2 Updates (ryanvm.msfn.org) to get your copy of Windows up to date before you make the CD. |

But why would that be less hassle than copying via Windows Explorer? Greg, I think it has something to do with the cd autostarting when you load the copy . If you do it the "copy to hard drive then burn way" it wont auto run. There, just repeated myself! |
