How do you copy the contents of a CD to your computer without an optical drive on your laptop?

"Ideas for solving problems"

There are two main ways to encrypt a disc now, one of which is to use a hidden file to hide the file (not the hidden property of the system), making it impossible for the user to see the file in the Explorer (Figure 1).

The other is the use of camouflage methods, screen files in the Explorer display, also open in the Explorer can not display the file, but the same as the above hidden Way, the CD-ROM shown here is very small, generally only a few 10 trillion size, the capacity is significantly different from the regular CD. So the idea of solving a problem is to break through both of the above methods.

"How To solve problems"

Extract hidden files from a disc

For the method of setting the hidden, we can use Untraiso to read, because all hidden files can be displayed in Untraiso. This allows you to insert the above encrypted disc on a computer that has an optical drive first. After starting the Untraiso, click on "file → open CD", after opening the CD in UltraISO, in the right-hand pane you can see a lot of files with "*" tags, these are hidden files (Figure 2).

For VCD files, as long as the extraction of the "Mprgav" directory can be prompted to right-click the directory select "Extract to", and then extract it to the desktop to save. This copies the directory to a computer that does not have an optical drive, and uses the system's own Windows Media play to open the "*" in the "Mprgav" directory. Dat (You need to select all files in the file open mode) to play directly on your computer.

Extract the files disguised in the disc

For a disc that is camouflaged, the first attempt to use Windows Media Play (click "Play →dvd, VCD, or CD disc"), if you can play it, indicates that the file is not hidden. Click on Windows Media play "file → open", and then navigate to the CD drive directory, open the "Mprgav" directory, the file type select "All Files", so you can see many suffixes as "*." Dat files, and then select the "*" that you want to copy. Dat files, right-click to select Copy, and then paste the files directly to the desktop for use (Figure 3).

Figure 3 The masquerade file can be copied directly in Windows Media Play's open window

If the encrypted disc cannot be played using Windows Media Play, you can try using the command prompt method for viewing. Start the Command Prompt window and, in turn, type the following command to copy the video to C: (Figure 4).

CD L:mpegav (l: Is my disc letter, each computer may be different)

DIR/A (a hidden video file can be listed at this time Avseq01.dat)

Copy avseq01.dat C: (copy specified file to C disk)

Through the above operation, you can extract the file, copy it to the computer without the optical drive, and then play through the media player.
