Compact EPC CDROM - I have original, need to back it up!

[joeywarren]

Hey all, I have an original copy of the W123 EPC compact CDROM (it comes on 1 cd and runs on all platforms without any hassles at all).

Thing is, it's SO valuable to me I treat it like gold-dust.

Is there a way to make a one-time backup copy, and use that instead?

I use it on my laptop, down in the garage for example. I'm sure the copyright (or it's spirit!) wouldn't be infringed at all?

I have used Roxio disc-copy, it installs, but doesn't load up. SO I'm thinking MB have placed a copy protect routine on it to stop people copying and distributing. This is something I wouldn't do, I just need to ENSURE my copy is safe! I can't bear the throught of losing access to it!

anyone any bright ideas or URL's to cheap programs I can use? I'n new to all this!

cheers!
