Is there way to copy-protect a data CD?
405979
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.

You didn´t put a long explanation of what you´re doing, so we could reply with what you are doing WRONG, i suggest you get a burning software (Clonecd, clonedvd, nero burning room is my favorite), you could try them for free for a set period of time, you could also hack them so you dont pay for them (www.enfull.com). \n\nThe basis is you put the origin in your CD-Rom Drive, and a blank disk on the burner, you select COPY DISC and you get it copied, as long as it does NOT has any LEGAL protection.

By this I assume you mean burn a CD that can not be copied.\n\nThere's not really any way to do this. The method in which CDs are writen is too well known. If you actualy managed to develop some way that a CD could not be copied, someone would manage to crack is in a matter of days.\n\nAlso, if you're talking about music CD's, there's no way to stop people from playing them. If you can play a music CD, it's a simple matter to route the output into the input and record the music into an mp3 file without the CD player knowing it's doing anything other than sending music to a pair of headphones.

use the windows CD or also called back-up cd

If you are using Windows XP it's called "diskpart". Go to Help and Support from your start menu for info. You do not need the CD for this.

Making a backup copy of anything is a personal choice; even though it could be illegal.\nHere is a program that will do it:\n\nhttp://www.blazemp.com/\nBest wishes.

You can copy a Cd you have for yourself.but not for anyone else.It all depends

you can copy it with that but its impossible almost to "copy" the copy protection .. its a physical limitation in the hardware of burners ...you can clone cds and actually get them to work but it will usually only work ,if you pull it off, on the burner it was created on and wont be reliable to give to someone else .. clonecd and blindwrite are prolly better than alcohol if you want to try .. what most people do is copy the game to an iso file, which is an image of a disk with no copy protection on it so it wont work by itself... then they use an emulating software like daemontools to mount the image and fake the protection .. its usually used in conjunction with a "crack" which is a file that replaces the cd check mechanism in the game itself ... most games have both cd check and another protection looking for the data to be on the disk the right way ... you must defeat both in some cases .... so wat you do is go ahead and make an image with blindwrite, alcohol, or clonecd .... then visit ur local crack site and get the crack for ur game ... then use an iso program like iso buster or magic iso to turn the image into an iso and add an extra folder to it containing the crack file(s) and a notepad containing the serial ... then its ready to go ... you install it, open the folder u made to read the serial then copy the crack to the game folder replacing the original files ... then play ...

Create a file on your hard drive, copy the file to cd

Use Easy CD creator or Roxio or Nero and most of them allows drag and drop. And you'll automatically burn your cd.

There is a lot of copy protection features that prevent cd from being copied, if the time codes you talking is one of them, yes.

if its the game then get a no cd crack ( i will let you search for that since half the time you will end up getting spy ware  / viruses doing that ) the best alternative is to use virtual cd or something like this :\n\nhttp://www.virtualcd-online.com/\n\nDo a google search you will find lots of alternatives :) ;) ;)

If they aren't copy protected, copy them with Windows explorer.\nIf protected, get AnyDVD from Slysoft (21 day free trial).

there is not such thing as 'secure' in IT industry,  theres no reason to burn a cd from a webpage, use nero for example
