Copying CDs and DVDs

NOTE: Ensure that you follow all copyright laws when you create CDs or DVDs.

This section applies only to computers that have a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, or

DVD/CD-RW combo drive.

The following instructions show how to make an exact copy of a CD or DVD. You can also

use Sonic RecordNow for other purposes, including creating CDs from audio files on your

computer and creating MP3 CDs. For instructions, see the Sonic RecordNow

documentation that came with your computer. Open Sonic RecordNow, click the question

mark icon in the upper-right corner of the window, and then click RecordNow Help or

RecordNow Tutorial.

How to Copy a CD or DVD

NOTE: If you have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive and you experience recording problems, check

for available software patches at the Sonic support website at support.sonic.com.

NOTE: Most commercial DVDs have copyright protection and cannot be copied using Sonic

RecordNow.

Click the Start button, point to All Programs→ Sonic→ RecordNow!→ RecordNow!.

2 Click either the audio tab or the data tab, depending on the kind of CD you are

planning to copy.

3 Click Exact Copy.

4 To copy the CD or DVD:

• If you have one CD or DVD drive, ensure that the settings are correct and click

Copy. The computer reads your source CD or DVD and copies it to a temporary

folder on your computer hard drive.

When prompted, insert a blank CD or DVD into the CD or DVD drive and

click OK.

• If you have two CD or DVD drives, select the drive into which you have inserted

your source CD or DVD and click Copy. The computer copies the data on the CD

or DVD to the blank CD or DVD.

Once you have finished copying the source CD or DVD, the CD or DVD that you

have created automatically ejects.
