How do I copy a dvd?

You need to be more specific. What type of dvd? A perosnall dvd, or something like a movie? If its a movie, then you can not legally make copies. It cant be done without getting software that will rip and reburn it for you. If you mean you have a dvd with your perosnal files on it. You should be able to copy it in the same manner you do a cd. There are a bunch of ways and it depends on what software you pc has. You can try to use windows media player or nero if you computer has it.

You can copy a DvD using free software such as 'Burn Aware'.

You would need a program that helps you copy and burn DVDs. Nero is a really good one, and you can get a free trial version from their site:

There are other products that can help copy the disc to your computer. A really good one, that's free is DVD Shrink. Take note, this program is only made to copy a disc, not burn it:

I would still recommend Nero to burn the disc, however. It works very well for that function.
