Copy the files to a new folder on your HD and check them there.  Then just dump the folder when your done.

Copy ALL 5 Disks into the same directory and run "setup" from there.
 
OR
 
Copy Disk 2 into a directory and burn onto a new disk.

I doubt it is copy protected since everything requires a long Keycode now.  Usually the new Disc is unrecognized because you forgot to give it the same LABEL as the first.   The LABEL name must be the same uppercase or lowercase as the original.
 
The LABEL name is what shows up after the Drive name in your MyComputer.  Or put it in your Burner to get the Label name. Then input that name for the new Disc.
 
If that fails, then they coded the Disc itself.  However, if you copy all Discs into a single directory and it runs fine from there, then the disc is not coded. :- )
