1. Copy what ever files you want (to copy from CD to another CD) into your Local system
2. Take out CD and insert new CD (CD which to be write) and write CD taking files from Local HDD.

Almost all softwares which are available in Market supportsBurning files from it's local system to CD only.

You should be able to copy the cd using the copy command. Allow the CD burning software to make it's own image file for the CD.
I am not familier with Nero, but EasyCD has a checkbox to copy files to the HD.
You could set the number of copies to 2, and just cancel after the first copy is made.

I have also had problems with reading a few CDs copied from HD image files. I have 1 CD that just will not work when I copy the files from a folder on the HD. It only works when I use the copy function.

Shut down all unneeded background applications before burning the CD to reduce memory and system load.

Keep in mind that some CDs just cannot be copied.

to burn cds using nero with just cd writer you have to go into the options menu and choose your recorder as the cdrw if your going to burn an image of the cd it requires you to select the hard drive as the recorder after recording it will ask you for the filename you want to create as the image.nrg i do not think you can do an image of a file from hdd

also check that your writing in iso mode
(so it's compatiable to all cd-drives)

win2000pro also allows system level encryption
make sure it's off on the drives properites

you should be able to use the copy comand with Nero I would recomend not to do it on the fly. Open Nero on Wizard mode, than select
"Copy CD" and it will ask you to insert the source CD, incert it and let it make and image copy to your cache merory,when it's done it will ask you to incert a blank CD,incert it and wait until it says burning proccess compleated successfully.
If you still having that problem you maigth want to consider, try burning at a lower speed,Check your ribbon cables,is your burner conected to IDE1
by it self? is not a good idea to have both CDROM and burner conected in the same ribbon cable etc.
Hope it helps
