Copy Disk 

 

Cyberlink Power2Go

If you want to make an exact copy of a disk that you have, you would use the Copy Disc feature. This feature usually works. There is exceptions to this. Some store bought discs will not fit properly on blank discs. To make a copy of the disc, you may have to get special software to make a copy of the disc. Sometimes you can create a copy of a disc by creating a disc image and then burning the disc image to disc but not by using the copy feature. 

Do the following if you want to make an exact copy of a disc. (this may be similar to other versions of Power2Go besides version 11)

If you are using the same disk drive to make the copy of the disk and burn the copy to a disk, do the procedure for One Drive. If you are using one disk drive to copy the disk and another disk drive to burn the copy to a disk, do the procedure for Two  Drives.
