Hi

I suggest to covert the CD into image, like iso. Then use the Daemon tools
(a software which is free of charge) to mount the image file.

I think I found the iso program, I'm still confused on the procedures on how
to do this. Copy with iso, open with Daemon. I found some software that
does this pretty easily but it is $70, I hope I'll figure something out
without having to pay that. Thanks anyway.

Where did you find the iso? Under your bed? Yes, you certainly look to be
confused.

He didn't tell you to copy "with iso". He told you to "convert the CD into
image, like iso". Re-read the instructions he gave you and try to make
sense of the English language. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

He already told you how to do it for free. Why are you looking at a $70
program?
