Copying CDs to a Hard Drive

Take the following steps to copy the CDs to a hard drive:

    NOTE: When you click OK for the last disk in the set, the Data Manager checks the CD-ROM drive for disk one and begins copying files. The Data Manager prompts you to insert each disc in the set until the data manager copies all discs to your hard drive.
