I think I've done it with nero before, but I believe it depends on
which version you have wether it works right or not.

If you have to give up creating this in windows, you could always
get a copy of the Knoppix Linux disk. This is a bootable Linux CD
that lets you run Linux, and many of the programs available to it,
without ever loading anything on your hard disk.
(Available at
http://www.linuxiso.org as a 700MB ISO file)
You could then mount the windows partition under linux,
and do your copy from the cd-rom to the hard drive, then go back
to windows.
However, you will probably need two CD-ROM drives to make
this work. One for knoppix to boot/run from, and another for
the VMS cd.
If your friend has two cd-rom drives (as some combonitation of
regular cd, cd burner, usb, or dvd, ...) than this would be one method
of sneaking around the software problem. Besides, it may convert
your friend to Linux ;-)
