Probably a stupid question(but very useful info for me)

I just wanted to know how to make a READ ONLY disc with Nero ,i mean that the files of that disc cannot be copied or modified in anyway.

Many thanks in advance.

You cannot dynamically change files on a CD anyways, so that in itself solves the modification issue, but preventing it from being copied is tougher as you'd have to implement a copy protection yourself. You could always encrypt or password protect the data.

I mean when i buy a CD from a shop and they are copied ones,i cannot copy for example Norton antivirus setup from the CD i bought. Now i am doing the same thing selling my home made CD-S so i don't want to give to anyone a CD and after he/she has copied the material i gave him in his/her PC come back to me and tell me he/she didn't like it. That's my point.

How could i make them right protected with passwords for example ,is there a program for this?

Well, yes and no.. aside from DVD-RAM, there are some other drivers floating around that kind of give you the ability with regular burns and RW's.. You can technically "wipe" an R, or replace a file, but I think you lose the space forever once its overwritten as blank.
