Problems copying a CDrom

Normally, don't have any problem copying CDs, (using Nero), but have hit a snag.

I normally copy all 'valuable' (to me), CDs, in case something happens to the original, but I've been trying in vain to copy my latest aquisition.

The CD is needed in the drive to initiate the software start, (even though it is copied to the hard drive). I've tried - so far - 5 copies, but even though, on the surface, it looks like the files have been successfully burnt, when I try to use the copy to initiate the program, it asks for the correct CD.

I'm assuming that the original contains some sort of hidden code or something, that won't copy across to another disk

If anybody knows how to get around this, that would be brilliant.

PS I'm only making these copies for my own use, to safeguard the original, as I do with all of my 'can't live without' media

thanks G_STRING
