First I agree totally with Martin about the viability of older programs being used 
with Vista. You may be able to access some of them in the 'Compatibility Mode', but 
that has gotten more and more feeble as the years go on. You May have some success 
finding a 'Virtual Machine' program which is a software version of a computer you 
run within Windows that will permit you use of older software.

That being said, I doubt that MS is stopping you from copying files. It is more likely 
your method or software used to do the copying. Realize that what you have desvcribed 
would be some sore of copy protection that would be quite old and probably no longer 
even evaluated by Windows. Try to find a suitable program like "Nero" (you would 
have to purchase) or possibly "Disk Copy" which is free at the link I have listed 
below. This type of software is more suitable for your purpose as it is dedicated 
to that purpose.
