What form are the files for Windows on your hard drive? .ISO or just the setup files from another Windows DVD? – techie007 Jun 22 '10 at 16:34

It's not exactly the same @quack, but the answers nearly are – Ivo Flipse♦ Jun 22 '10 at 19:28
@quack quixote, I couldn't find one either if it makes you feel better, superuser.com/questions/20536/… is as close as it gets – johnthexiii Jun 22 '10 at 19:28

Simple copy and paste only copies the files, not the boot information stored in the disc. You need to use the Copy DVD feature of a disc burning application to do this.

I recommend ImgBurn or CDBurnerXP to perform this task.

Use imgburn to make an ISO of your windows DVD then burn that ISO to your blank DVD with imgburn. Make sure the 'make bootable' option is checked. Here is some more detailed information.
