CDs to harddrive

[lottie50usa]

I'd like to do away with the "insert CD' and have my programs (games , print shop 10, win98 )run directly from my harddrive , is there any way to do it,

What you are looking for are sometimes called cracks, and I "believe" they are legal if you are using it for software you own the license to. It is annoying to have to switch cd's in and out for games and programs. Every piece of software is different so there isn't one quick solution. However, cracks for most games can be found at: http://www.gamecopyworld.com/

virtual drive will do it but it actually copies an image of your cd onto the hard disk. I.e you have to have drive space to waste.

I have also used a software from IMSI called CD Copier Pro. Copies cds tot eh hdd and sets up virtual cd-rom drives that can run the game or whatever. Nice program. A bit buggy under win98 since it was written for 95. Works fine under 98 but badly under 98SE.
