I have yet to come across a protection of any CD or DVD that cannot be broken by BlindWrite software amd amny other such softwares.. So dont waste your time on it, you will not get anywhere unless you shed off a lot of bucks and get a customised protection from a firm, however, in due course of time that too will get broken. Go and have a look at this site which will give you a little insight on copy protections on CDs\n"http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_protections.shtml".

Have you considered just using a zip program like Winrar?  A program like this can compress and encrypt your files and then you can use any burning software to burn them to CD all the while maintaining the encryption.  Good luck.\n\nhttp://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=160&dl=wrar351.exe\n\nIf that link doesn't work then goto the download page \n\nhttp://www.win-rar.com/download.html\n\nand download the correct version for your OS.

you can protect it, but the tools/techniques that u will use to protect it will be from the available techniques that the companys are using to protect their games-which someone is breaking that kind of protection all the time.......generally even if u find a new way to protect a cd it will be a matter of time before someone break it\n\na way that u can protect the actual data in a cd and it is difficult to break it is by using encryption but only the person that knows the cryptographic key will be able to see the data, for all the others its going to be just a file that is not opening, have in mind that if u will encrypt it use as a minimum a 128bit key\nuse gpg or pgp for that if u want,http://www.gnupg.org/

The problem is typically caused by a gap between the CD being ready for data and the computer being ready to provide it. Oddly enough, it tends to be more prevelent just before a CD drive fails.\n\nHowever...\n\nEnsure your screen saver is OFF. Disable the PC from broadband and then disable your antivirus. (I take it you have checked your laptop for virus' and spyware infections using something like SpyBot and Trend Internet Security Online Scan????)\n\nEnsure the only program running is your CD Writing software. Reduce the write speed to 8x. If it writes okay, increase the speed to 16x. If it writes okay, try 24x. If it still writes okay, enable the maximum speed (and curse me for wasting all these cd's)

you can stop the CD drive ejecting all the time by using a tube of glue and gluing the drive shut, only kidding, I think your computer has picked up a virus,you should scan your computer with an anti virus,there are some free ones out there such as AVG from http://www.computeractive.co.uk

It is simple friend. Just purchase and install winguardpro. It is a security software that is userfriendly and excellent. U can lock the whole hard disk and prevent anyone else to view its content. I use the same :-)

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

if the cd-rom is copy-protected then you won't be able to copy it, otherwise launch Nero Express and select the option "Copy Entire Disc"\nthereafter, choose the source & destination drives accordingly and proceed by clicking on the "Copy" option.

there is no way you can totally secure a CD against copying.\n\nThe problem is that you will have to distribute the mechanism to decrypt or otherwise run the CD with the CD itself or it will be useless. And so it can be broken.\n\nThink of it as locking your door and then hiding the key under the doormat and putting a note on the door telling people the key is under the doormat.

To turn off content protection when copying CDs\nOn the Tools menu, click Options. \nClick the Copy Music tab. \nClear the Copy protect music check box. \n\nNote\nContent protection helps to protect tracks copied from CDs from illegal distribution. This feature applies only to tracks copied from CDs to Media Library that are Windows Media Audio files.

The problem you will run into is that as soon as that CD is out of your posession then its fair game.\n\nThe RIAA and Motion Picture Association have been trying to encrypt and create software like that for years and its all pretty much junk.\n\nWhat you can do is during the install have a unique CD key combine with the unique processor ID and or NIC of the system that will then create a unique activation KEY.  That means that the CD is now tied to that system and that system only.  I have seen some software that we use in my job have to be activated in that way.  Kinda pain for the user but in ensure you some level of control.

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

The unit does have a different head for CD so it is possible for one to go bad and the other stay working.\n\nIf you won't read or write and you have tried different media my guess is your CD head is bad. The writers are a throw away item now. They are so cheap you don't want to fix them.
