Copying a copy protected CD

[rajzoo1]

Dear Frinedz,

I have a Studio 8 CD (original) which I want to make a copy in case the CD becomes unusable. But the CD is copy protected (i.e it does not install from a copies CD). How can I make a copy of this CD for my own archival purpose.

Thanks.....

Install Nero and the image drive that comes with it.
Then create a cd image using the image drive ,then write the image on to a cd.

try installing from the image to see if it works (since itz copy protected )

use alcohol. It comes with a variety of options whiche enables you to copy a protected CD. Theres also Blindwrite which will give you exact copies of a CD.

That's right. Alcohol 120% is the best software to backup copy protected CD's. It can copy Cd's protected by SecuRom, SafeDisc, Laserlock etc..

Can anyone explain to me how copy protection schemes are implemented in audio CDs and Data CDs? Also, is it possible to bypass HASP hardware dongle based copy protection?
