Thanks Big Pup. I am hoping I can save my bookmarks etc. I should have a backup of my profile somewhere, if not I will make one again. It took me a week to set it all up a couple years ago.

After extensive research it appears that I can only do this with Nero. I think my best bet at this point is to remaster the album and re-submit it to all the databases. I may make one last attempt to boot the old win machine and see if I can save it as an iso from there. it is (in theory) possible t...

I was really hoping to get an exact copy since it is already in the cd dstabase. I have also noticed that Pcd doesn't recognize the cd text on the master however VLC does. I am wondering if perhaps K3b might do an exact copy?

I will do a bit more research before I give up on the master copy.
