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.
