Help Needed for Begginers

[DAB]

I've just spent the last few days reading through all your advise but must admit I'm still confused. Can anyone advise in basic english how to set up your computer to start backing up PSX games. My kids are pretty rough with them and I'd really like to not let them touch the originals.
I currently have a copy of CDRWIN and O matic in ZIP form but not sure where I head to now. I don't want to overwrite my current CD writer software and am not sure how it all fits together and still able to maintain my exisiting program. I currently am using a Hewlett Packard Series 9100 with the software that came with it.

Please Help
