nero would probably suffice in just making backup copies and burning them... sometimes the copies will work normally without any more work, sometimes they wont... in those cases, you can simply visit a site dedicated to fixed exes and use those

you can also use programs like alcohol 120%, game jackal, etc. to backup your games, create mini images that can be mounted instead of having use the games original cd/ dvd, etc.

fyi, the wording in this thread may be considered too sensitive to keep open, so dont be surprised if the thread is closed after my reply... unfortunately, it comes with the territory on a site such as this... I dont always agree but because of where some people try to take a threads topic, its better to have a 100% enforcement rule than to allow any fudge room

I do own all software I am trying to run without a CD. It just gets annoying changing the CD's, especially for multi-CD games. And the trial of GameJackal is working fine right now.
