<strong>in order to copy a cd using clone cd or some other program(not "On-the-Fly") ,should the source disk be read by the cd-rom or the cd-writer ??

is there a difference ?

are you wanting to know what the source cd is and what the output is?

if so you want to put your source (the cd to copy) in your cd rom drive.

in the cd writer put your blank CD.

does that answer your question?
