You can do this with the command line pretty easily, if that is your
thing.  I'm thinking that is not, though, so take a look at XCDRoast.  It
has the ability to duplicate CDs, if I remember correctly.  There are
several other that can probably do it, too.  (GCombust, KISOCD, come to
mind).

Poke around Freshmeat.

I am not sure about Win2K boot CDs, I have never tried that.  If
cdrecord can't do it, nothing can.  I think all of the GUIs are built
upon that command line utility.  You can read its man page, if you are
up that :-P
