Thanks Allen.  The one thing, and probably most relevant, thing I forgot to 
mention was that the CD is protected.  How can I copy a protected CD?

  Judith,

  If I understand you corectly, you are trying to copy data from a CD and copy 
these files to your hard drive. If that is the case, you really don't need to 
use Windows Media Player to rip or burn this data. All you need to do is open 
the CD  from its icon on the desktop, and highlight the files you want to copy, 
and press Control + C to copy to the clipboard. Then switch to the folder on 
your hard drive where you want to save copies of these files and press Control 
+ V to put them in that folder.

  You would only use the burn option when ripping music from a music CD to your 
hard drive, but if these are just data files, All you need to do is copy and 
paste from the CD to your hard drive.

can accomplish this?  Thanks, Judith
