make a legal back up of a copy right cd (Rosetta Stone)
I own a legal copy of Rosetta Stone Spanish but my kid destroys the disk I had to buy it twice. So I want to make a copy of the disk for her to use instead of the original so I will not have to buy it for the third time. I downloaded and tried the trial versions of Sly Soft CD Cloner (CloneCD ver 5.3.1.3) as well as Alcohol 120% version 1.9.7 (Build 6221) and I also normal use the full version of Nero 7 Ultra edition ver 7.0.1.2. They all make a copy and the copy starts like it should with the Rosetta Stone flash screen then comes up with an error please eject and reinsert CD in CD rom, select ok and restart application.. I have a windows XP pro with SP 3 with a Maxtor 6Y080L0 80 gig with 30 gig free Hard Drive and a Sony DVD-Rom DDU1613 and a ATAPI DVD A DH20a4P DVD RW DVD-RAM,DL on a Intel D845GVRSRL with a P4 2.8 & 1.25 gig of Ram. I have the legal disk that I did buy I am only trying to make one single copy for myself, can some please help.

Although you are allowed to backup your CD's, you aren't allowed to overcome copy protection schemes to make such a backup. Your software apparently uses such a scheme so you can't make a working backup.

So how am I able to make a back up cd so when my kid distroys the cd I am not out all my money again?
