| 379541 | 2005-08-09 04:33:00 | What does this term mean? Recently, purely er........um........as an experiment, I attempted to copy a game cd. "Copyprotected" Nero told me, so I gave up. But I've never used "Image Disk" in Nero. What does it do? What is the difference between copying a CD and burning an image? |

| 379542 | 2005-08-09 04:39:00 | Copying a CD involves Nero making an file (an image file) of the original CD, then writing it to a blank disk. If you provide Nero with a file which is an image of a CD, such as one of the many linux installation disk available for download as 600MB+ ".iso" files, you save it the trouble. But you have to tell it that this is an image file to be written to the CD, not an ordinary file to be written. When you dio a directory of a CD which has had an Image Copy done, you see all the files it contains. If you see only one very big file on the CD, you got it wrong. ;) |

But I've never used "Image Disk" in Nero. What does it do? What is the difference between copying a CD and burning an image? An image is usually done as you make an image onto the HDD from the source CD. Then swap a blank into the drive and the image comes from the HDD to the CD. Like a ghost image sort of thing. Nero won't do that - you need Alcohol 120% or similar and even then it depends on the protection used. |
