good disc-to-disc copying software for Windows?

[GJW]

I'm looking for a good on-the-fly disc copier.
I don't want to install all the bloat of Nero or Roxio just for this one feature so can anyone recommend a good program? Free is great but commercial is ok too.
I want to insert a CD, data or music, have it record, then insert a blank CD and have it write.
No mucking about with ISO or other images, just plain and simple copying of both music and data discs.

I now use CDBurnerXP with satisfying results!

Cool, thanks for that.
I swear I tried that one a few weeks ago and it didn't do what I wanted but now it looks like I may have just missed a few options.

I recommend Prassi ONES. It's a totally driver-less application that needs no updating when you upgrade your drive. It's simple and slick.

I've used Clone CD in the past, but I don't have it currently loaded so I can't check the size. The website says it needs 1M of disk space.

None of the above recommendations compares to Nero Micro 8.2.8.0.

Nero is all I use for burning but if you don't want to install, use Nero Portable. Just open the exe & Nero runs, no installation needed.

Nero Micro, never heard of that. Is it similar to Nero portable?

Looks like Nero Micro (and Nero Lite) is a stripped-down version of Nero that's been compiled by a 3rd-party.
It runs only if you own a valid license so you pay full-price for a product you're not using only to install a hacked version that could be abandoned by the creator at any time with no support.
Doesn't seem like a good deal to me.
And the Micro version is 25MB so it still looks like bloat to me.
Thanks though.

I use these 2 for all CD/DVD writing:

Both free, and do not require installation (i.e. can run portable)

Alcohol, I love this prog. It's exactly as you described, you put a disk in, choose one of the few options on your left, it makes an image, spits the disc out and asks for the next, then burns and spits out the finished disk. Fast and easy.
