This question will expose my woeful lack of tech savvy. Nevertheless…..!
I’ve an old piece of installation software on CD that I’d like to copy to my laptop’s hard drive before the CD’s data starts to deteriorate. (I paid for the software, and it’s for my use only.)
Having never copied an installation disc, I’m not sure which copy method to use. I have a couple of copy/burning apps on my computer:
[INDENT]ImgBurn (Can create an image file from disc, or create an image file from files or folders.)
Ashampoo Burning Studio (Can, I think, do all the above, but that’s just a guess.)
[/INDENT]
To summarize: I’d like to a copy a program installation CD to my hard drive for future use. Should I image the whole CD, or extract individual files?
Does it matter? If so (and the explanation isn’t too complicated), why?
Kind thanks for the help.
