How can I make a copy-protected CD-ROM that can't be copied on another CD or hard drives?

If your talking about application program protection, and you don't intend to mass produce, then there are options.  You can create bad sectors on a disk, then identify those sectors in your code.  Require the bad sectors to map properly according to your matrix of known sector damage. When your application starts up, if the sectors match the matrix, everything is good, if not, the program will not launch.  When the disk is copied to another disk, the matrix is copied from the source disk, but it will never Align with the destination disk's sector condition.  You can apply this to DVD movies as well, if you are experienced in writing with Macromedia.  The reason this doesn't work as well in movies is that the disk is not physically damaged, its just marked as such.  Copy programs can find the marked sectors, and do the same on the destination.  If you are experienced with macromedia, you can physically damage a sector, map it, and the require that damage in order to display the menus.  Standard copy programs like DVD Shrink, or DVD Decrypt cannot detect one-off copy protection schemes.

You cannot modify any files that are on a CD, you need to save them to your Hard Drive and then you can save them after changing the original.

There are many methods out there, most of them are expensive however.  The thing to keep in mind is that the data you put on a CD is meant to be read, and there will always be some enterprising hacker with nothing but time on his hands to figure out how to get that data off and do something else with it.\n\nThe only good way of reliably protecting that data is encrypting it, but keep in mind it will be useless to you as well, until it is decrypted, which makes it sort of pointless for most applications.\n\nIf this is software you are trying to protect, there are licensing schemes available.  There are some for media schemes as well, although it would take a bit of effort to set that up.

If you use DVD Decrypter or even DVD Shrink, that would do the trick.  You'll need a burning engine as well, such as Roxio or Nero (or you can probably download a free one). My understanding is that you are allowed to make one copy under the "Fair Use" provision of the law. Although this is still a contentious issue.

With the help of CD. Burn the files on CD and then copy it on another computer.

Most CD titles require the CD to be loaded to verify you own it etc.\n\nHowever, this program can help with what you are doing.\nhttp://www.virtualcd-online.com/

You could use DVD Shrink and compress the disk (it creates input files on your hard disk) plus it removes the Copy Protection Error found on the Disk plus if you specify what country it was originally intended for, the program removes the RCE Protection.(Regional Coding Enhancement)

iTunes does that. For protected files, you just have to burn them to a CD.\n(Use a CD-RW or a disc image).

Sadly, this is not normally possible, if you need to keep the software in case of emergency, perhaps something like Norton Ghost could be used, this will clone your entire machine so if it messes up you can revert to as is now.\n\nOtherwise, if it is serial number based, I suggest you contact the programming company and ask / order replacement media.

You must have rewriter CD rom, then you will be able to write on CD directly. Rewiteable CD are very costly.

That is Impossible...people can always find ways of copying those type cd's.

There is a software called Alcohol 120% which will allow you to create virtual CD drives on your computer, then you put your cd in, make an image of it and mount the image to one of your virtual drives.  Once you do that, you can remove your cd from the actual real drive.  The software allows you to play games from your computer instead of the CD drive.  This also makes load times faster.  :  )

If that CD is not Re-writable then u can't erase it,otherwise u can use NERO BURNING ROM SOFTWARE for erase thar disk.

Just use the CD, if you don't have the CD copy all the files in the program files folder-> c:&#92;programfiles

Go to your CD-ROM in "My Computer" and right click it. Select "Explore". Right Click on the file you want to create a shortcut to and click "Create Shortcut". For this to work you must have the CD in for this to work. To have it work sans CD right click and select copy. Hope this helps.
