Nero Burning Rom 6 for Microsoft Windows

You can use Nero Burning ROM 6 to copy a variety of CDs using a CDR, CDRW or DVD R/RW disc. However, you must ensure that you disc you intend to copy is not protected by copyright law.

To copy your disc:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Nero > Nero StartSmart. This will launch the Nero StartSmart program (Fig. 1).

6. Nero will now read the disc and store it temporarily on your hard drive. Once this is complete you will see a message telling you to insert a blank CD or DVD into the drive (Fig. 3).
