When I bought my new Dell computer it came with a Windows XP Install Disc. I want to make a copy of that disc so I can have a backup. I have looked on google but havent found any relevant info. So could someone help me out. Thanks for any assistance.

I think you can use ImgBurn to rip it to ISO on to your hard drive. Afterwards, just burn the ISO file with ImgBurn and that should do it

By disc copy u mean just riping the iso and burning the iso? No i haven't tried that because i thought it would be more complicated than that.

But your saying i should be able to do it using imgburn?

I never used imgburn, is there any settings or options that need to be set in order to copy my xp cd?
