    Question All those game CD's only one CD drive......

    I have loads & loads of games, don't we all?

    The ones that piss me off are those that require the original CD in the drive, now I know I can crack these to get rid of that.... but I'd rather not!

    I was using a product from symantec called VCD (Virtual CD), this let you read the original CD, copy it and mount the image as a virtual CD so your computer 'imagines' the real copy is still there....

    But alas copy protection techniques have advanced lots and my s/w no longer does the job , any suggestions for a similar product ?

    I miss being able to play at work!!!!!

    Asside from ramming the CD stacker with all my games CD's I'm stuck....

    What are you doing playing games at work, anyways? BUSTED! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

    Allright! so 'busted'!

    But I understand these freaky license agreement things to allow as many installs as you like .... I thought 'uses' was the issue, hence the cd check? I can lose all my game CD's at home, never mind at work too...

    I don't want to crack them (I know that bit already <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> ) - I was tryin' to do it legally!

    Sooooo if I blow outa my behind, then pray forgive..

    Daemon tools will work. You will have to get another program to rip the cd to a .bin image first, which is fairly easy.
