Themis is rightly asking you to try and find out what your laptop's cdrw make and model is.
Why? Because your Freecom drive won't be able to copy most protected cds because it looks like it cannot write subchannel data, or write in DAO-RAW mode. Since this drive is gonna let you down, it would be wise to know what the make and model is of your other one so that we can tell you if that will be able to copy these protected titles. The easiest way to find this out is to click on the windows START (bottom left of screen)/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/DEVICE MANAGER/CDROM. There you will find the make and model of any drives.
Armed with this info, we can tell you whether your other drive can handle protected cds.
Why is this important? Because cd protections rely on cd writers being unable to handle certain characteristics of a cd e.g. unreadable errors, special layouts, illegal table of contents, subchannel data, multisession etc etc. Every cd writer has different capabilities, so this is why the make and model is SO important. Even different models within a manufacturers range have widely varying abilities.
I understand how frustrating it must be for you if you've yet to acquire the knowledge you seek, but understand that we post questions to you for a reason. Those reasons are always so that we can help you further. I'm very sure that no-one meant to offend or upset you, it's just rather frustrating for us as well, when simple advice isn't heeded which would answer your questions so much faster.
