Hi all,
I travel around with a netbook a lot at the moment (my trusty old Asus 904HD) and i was wondering something - is there a way to play my old PC games (and i mean OLD lol - Sim City 2000, Dune 2000, Diablo etc.) without the CD drive plugged in? I find them a great way to pass the time whilst travelling, but to be honest, having to hook up my external CD/DVD player to allow me to 'play from disk' is a little frustrating.
Is there a way (and is this 'allowed') to put the entire contents of the DVD's/CD's onto the hard disk, and then run the games from there? I have plenty of HDD space free and it would be great to be able to use that and run the games just from the unit (and possibly save power/extend battery life if i'm not having to use an external drive to play)
Are there specific programs/techniques to doing this?
Any help is greatly appreciated
