If you are using the demo version it'll burn at 1x and that operation can take about 45 minutes. First, I'd recommend you use CloneCD only for 1:1 copies. Next, if you've got settings like Fast Error Skip set, it can take ages. Next, you can happily burn at 4X or even 8X if the media is good. The correct CloneCD settings are:


Open CloneCD.

Click the picture to copy the CD to Hard Disk

Select your CD Reader.

Select your read speed. I suggest you keep it to 8x or 4x

Select your write speed. I strongly suggest you burn at a maximum of 4x or 8x.
