Copying CD to CD

[Joyz underwood]

I am trying to copy a cd with files on it to another CD but once it's been copied it only copies the shortcut of the files. I know that I can't use this CD as it won't run shortcut files on the PC. Can anyone help me with this?

I would Copy the Files to the Desktop or a Temporary Location

Then Burn them To the Disk

To copy and Move the Item

Drag and press and Hold CTRL

Then Drop the File and it should be Copied to the Disk

Hope This Helps,
Josh

Hello Joyz underwood and welcome to the forums

If Josh's method fails, then can you try this please:

Download and run InfraRecorder (it doesn't need to be installed because its portable):

InfraRecorder Portable | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives

And select the copy CD option. Once that has run, let us know if it worked.

Hopefully following what I have said will Change it form Creating Short cuts to Copying the Files

Hi Tom, tried that - didn't work it said 'cant read source disk, DMA speed test skipped, can only copy session#1, operation cancelled.

I'd create an image of the disk, method depends on your software, then burn the new disk from the image.

What software are you using for better instructions.
