Exit the genie mode, select "Copy Disc" in "New CD", select the location and file name of the image file in the "Image File" option, then cancel "Delete image file after copying disc", and select "Write" in the "Burn" option. At this time, the "OK" button becomes the "Copy" button, click the "Copy" button, put in the source CD, and then copy the disc image file to the directory you set.

Another way to do this is to select a burner after clicking the "Select Burner" command, select "Copy Disc", check "Mock" in the "Burn" option, and remove the checkmark in front of "Write" (this step is not missing!). ）。Then click the "Analog Write" button to copy the CD, after the source disk copy is completed, select "Cancel" in the pop-up "Wait**" window, and then you can find the file with nrg as the suffix in the "Image File" save location set earlier, this file is the made disc image.

Nero can also make files on the hard disk as image files, which is different from making an image file on a CD. Create a new Data Disc and drag the source file or folder to the box where you want to create an image file. After the addition is complete, you can start "burning", select "Create Image File" in the pop-up "Burn Disc" window, select the storage directory, name and image file type of the image file in the pop-up "Save Image File" window, and click "Save" to start burning.
