How do you create iso (to HD) without actual burning?

[btiger]

I've Nero full edition and I don't seem to find anywhere in the program for me to crate an iso without the actual burning?

The only way I can create an iso file is when doing CD to CD copying, as Nero would crate a temp iso file/image in my HD (and I select not to delete that temp iso file/image after copying), however now I just want to create an iso file/image from a CD and save it on my HD and burn it later. Thanks for your help in advance.

Go under "Choose Recorder" and pick the "Image Recorder"

Thanks Ian, got it.

While creating the image file, I got 1)CD is protected 2)Unrecoverable read error at 37:26:27.... then burn successfully completed! For 1)I guess because I was making a backup of copy of my new video card installation CD, so it's OK how about 2)?

Using CD-DVD speed to test the newly created CD:
1st run/test
Files:100% OK Errors:0
Surfacescan:99.81% OK Damaged:0.19% Unreadable:0%

2nd run/test
Files:100% OK Errors:0
Surfacescan :100% OK Damaged:0% Unreadable:0%

Are these tests normal? how come one test got little damaged and 2nd test no damaged? Thanks again.

The read error could be due to some sort of copy protection. Why they'd put it on a video card installation CD is beyond me though.

unless it isn't a videocard installation cd

but why would you want to make a copy of an outdated driver cd?

Thanks Ian.

hoxlund, yup it's an ATI installation CD, I'm the type that don't believe in update/upgrade unless something isn't working! "If it ain't broke don't fix it type" and am happy with the drivers on the original installation CD, so I make one backup copy!

you do realize theres huge performace increases with updated drivers not found on the cd
