CD-Copy from a Share Drive !!!
 

Is there any way to share a CD-ROM drive over the network from another machine, making possible the CD-to-CD copy using any kind of Burn Software ???

yep - all depends on the machine's operating system that you're going to be sharing the drive from. What o/s do you have, and what is the machine with the drive got?

Answer !!!
 

The machine with the burner is on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and the CD-ROM reader is on a Windows XP Pro.

sorry for the delay - i've been out of the country. On your xp pro box , right click on your drive that you want to share, and select sharing & security. Select share this folder as and give it a name. Click okay. On your win 2k AS box, browse you network neighbourhood, fine your xp box - open it up, right click on the folder corresponding to the shared drive on the xp box, and select map network drive. From there, map it to a free drive letter. You can now access that drive from your win 2k box.

All the above presumes ser=veral things:

1. Both xp & win2k AS are on the same domain or workgroup.
2. You know the login details of the xp machine if you are running a workgroup.
3. You have all the correct servics running on xp to enable file sharing in the first place - i say this because i started tweaking my services a couple of weeks ago to gain a speed increase on startup, and ended updisabling the services necessary for file sharing. :mad:

If you need some more help on this issue, just say.

Nope !!!
 

I already know all this stuff about file sharing, thanks anyway.
But let me put a question ??? Have you tried this option ??? I mean, could you open your Nero Burning Rom, and see the maped drive as a CD-ROM in the copy CD-To-CD program ???
No way... Thats my problem...
