CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW drives have technical limits. Copying all CDs perfectly is simply not possible. The source CD-ROM drive and source CD both can cause problems in duplication. We therefore recommend that before you permanently copy a CD you select the Simulation option. This process does a test run of the reproduction before attempting to burn data onto the CD. But it is possible to make a damaged copy of a CD without an error message being displayed. This can occur if there is data or other information to protect the CD being copied "hidden" between the tracks of the source CD. Using the software included with your PC, however, can help you make backup copies of virtually any CD type. The following table contains a list of CD types that can be copied, and some remarks on how to make backup copies.
