    making copies of CD in windows 10

    Hi Ahamed,

    When you copy music, pictures, and videos from your PC to a blank CD or DVD, it's called "burning." When you copy music, pictures, and videos from a CD or DVD to your PC, it's called "ripping." You can use Windows Media Player to do both. May we know what
    type of file are you copying?

    If in any case you need to make multiple copies of a CD, there are downloadable 3rd party applications that can perform such operation with ease.

    To copy a CD with only one DVD drive, kindly follow these steps:

    • Insert the CD you want to copy into the DVD drive.
    • Create a location folder and copy the contents of the CD to the folder.
    • Remove the CD from the DVD drive.
    • Insert the blank CD, and then burn the contents of the folder into the new CD.

    For additional information, see
    Burn and rip CD's
    .

    Note: Steps provided in the above article may also apply in Windows 10.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    DVD copy

    Hello,

    Thank you for replying back with the status of this issue.

    I would suggest you to copy the movie files from your DVD on your computer hard disk by opening the drive in the computer. You may follow the steps below -

    • Insert the DVD in the CD\DVD drive.
    • Open computer, click on DVD drive, and Select the files you want to copy. To select all files, press Ctrl and A keys together, to select files randomly press Ctrl and left mouse click on the file.
    • Right click on the selected files, click on copy.
    • Select the location where you want to save those files, right click and paste it.
    Then you may insert the blank DVD and burn the disk using the Windows DVD Maker. You may refer to the below link for assistance in burning the DVD and other details -

    Hope this helps. Let us know the results.
