text: how can u copy a dvd to your  pc hard drive without it working properly?   have a bunch of different programs running in the background while you are making the copy.  if you want it to work correctly then only have the program you are using to copy running and find a book or do something else around the house while its makeing the copy.  to make good copies use programs like alcohol 120%. i've never had a problem with it...the program can also make a virtural drive on your computer to play the dvd you've copied...if you wanna make an iso file then use a program like record now dx its kinda old but it will make a readable iso that can be burned onto any dvd or cd rom disk...
