I was trying to make a copy of the QB2007 PRo installation disk to ensure against lost or damage to the original. Nero was giving me a hard time rejecting blank CD/R disks, and I started wondering whether Intuit with their usual user-unfriendly procedures had made it impossible to do this?

Intuit has over a 90% market share because of the fact that they are user-unfriendly.
Had no problems making a copy.
Try different CD/R disks. I bought some cheap ones and they were always causing the problem you're mentioning. I got a different brand and didn't have the problem anymore.
I think QB is very user-friendly!!!

It's not possible to protect a data CD like that, AFAIK.
Get Taiyo Yuden CDs. If you never heard of them, you never heard of the company that actually made your CDs, even if they say Sony on them.

And if you want to identify the maker of the CDs you already have, search for an old freeware utility called "CDR Media Identifier".
