Good day roughlad.
1) B a good idea to give more detail on you PC set up....OS, Hardware, Nero version etc.
2) The disk your trying to copy is it an original or a backup copy?
3) Is this a Game your trying to copy if so, many have some form of copy protection built into them so you would need to scan the disk to find its protection....and even then it depends on your hardware and yet again the software you use to read & burn it...

Have a look here.
Use alcohol(or clonecd), not nero and set it to the corresponding protection settings and you should be able to copy your game just fine.
You can also use Alcoholer to load the settings for you(also gives more choices for protections).
To find out for your self what copy protection a game uses you can fex use clonyxxl (soon to be outdated, if not already) to scan your cd.

read errors are a usual part of game copy protections;
if you follow our tutorials, you will see you have ignore read errors in Alcohol & CloneCD;
