Are there any freeware programs out there that will let me make a copy of a
bootable CD?

Thanks.

I used that one once. Could never completely uninstall it. Burn4free is
good, many others.

But it will copy data CDs (such as images or bit-for-bit copies of MP3
files, many zipped)?

Yea, but if it makes a copy of a data CD that is bootable, will the copy be
bootable?

Absent a quick, direct way of doing it, there is an easy way involving 2
steps - if the disc is standard format and only one session.

Use any of a number of freeware utilities to sector scan the CD and save
the image as an ISO file.

Then use any of a number of freeware utilities (e.g. DeepBurner) to use
the .ISO as the source file for burning a copy.
