I have just bought a PC Game and, for security reasons I would like to make a backup copy of the original Cd. I stress that this is for my own benefit and not for selling on. How do I do it?

You will find many PC games are protected. They have files on them to hamper your back-up process. For info on copy protection search for the following.....

I would recommend you get yourself familiar with ISO or disk images. In situations where CD use some kind of copy protection software, you can extract an ISO image of the CD and then burn it to the new CD rom. Do a search for ISO, copy protection and read some material...it will help you in the feature, as more and more companies are adopting these technologies which hinder your ability to copy a cd for LEGAL backup purposes.....I know how it feels to have your favorite game and then.....boommmm...it's gone because of a simple scratch.....
Hope it helps....(*you need software to extract ISO IMAGES*)
