Can I copy cds and dvds with WIn 7?

I've looked in Media Center and one can burn cds and dvds but there
does not appear to be a way to make a copy of a cd or dvd - am I
missing something?

Any input would be appreciated

Windows 7 can't make copies of CDs or DVDs, you need third-party software
for that. ImageBurn works well with Win7 and it's free.

Need two CD Drives one for reading and one for writing.
Load read with source, load write with blank.

Right click source select copy, right click destination
select paste.

Off it goes making copy.

You've found a way to do it using two drives, but two drives are NOT
required. As others have said, 3rd party software makes it easy and
only requires a single drive. I use ImgBurn, but there are many
others.

Thanks to all responders - looks like I'll be going for a 3rd party
image burner.

Not at all true. You *can* do it that way, but it works just fine with
a single CD drive. The software copies the source data from the CD
drive to a temporary file on the hard drive, then from there it copies
to the blank CD you've changed to in the CD drive. And all CD-writing
software will do this automatically.

Some video DVDs use techniques beyond the ridiculously simple
"encryption" that region coding provides. If you have trouble using
ImgBurn/DVD Decrypter with any particular discs, try:

Can highly recommend DVD fab, great bit of kit. Can also compress the main
film to single size DVD without all the trimmings/crap in real DVD
