Copying Discs Using Disc Copier
Using the Same Drive as the Source and
Destination Drive
If your CD-Recordable or DVD-Recordable drive serves as both
your source and destination drive, you can copy a disc by copying
the source disk to the hard drive first. Simply select the same drive
in both the Copy From and Record To drop-down list boxes on the
Source and Destination tab. This requires enough free space on your
hard disk to temporarily copy the contents of the source disc. See
Copying the Source Disc to the Hard Drive First on page 81.
Copying the Source Disc to the Hard Drive First
In certain situations, you may want to copy the source disc to the
hard drive first. This feature in Disc Copier first records the disc to
your hard disk as a temporary image file, then records the image file
to your blank disc. Disc Copier automatically removes the tempo-
rary image file from your hard disk once it has been recorded to
disc.
Note: You need enough free space on your hard disk to copy
the contents of the source disc.
Here are some situations when you would want to copy the source
disc to the hard drive first:
■ If you are making multiple copies of a disc and you want to
speed up the recording process.
■ If your CD-Recordable or DVD-Recordable drive serves as
both your source and destination drive.
■ If your source drive is slow and you want to lessen the chances
of errors occurring while recording.
To copy the source disc to the hard drive first:
1 Insert the disc you want to copy into your source drive.
2 In the Copy From drop-down list box, select the source drive.
3 Click the Advanced tab.
4 Select Copy Source Disc to the Hard Drive First.
