Default how to backup windows xp original disk
Hello, my original windows xp disk has a crack in the centre and everytime i use it gets bigger it has not reached the actual data bit yet though, is there a way of copying the disk so it will act the same as the original disk.


thanks

This is a grey area for us as it is kinda illegal.

However I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you have the original.

Get Nero and simply copy the CD.

Wouldn't it have a copyright protection thing that will stop it copying?

Maybe, Nero automatically gets round it anyway.

Not that I condone copying CDs.

I do however recommend backing up originals.
