You can use a virtual CD ROM on your hard drive. You can copy the entire contents of a CD-ROM to your hard disk and run the programs or access the files without the need for the original CD.
For XP (& unnofficially Win 2000) ..Download a FREE virtual CD Rom from:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpvirtualcd.html
Good luck

You need to to down load clone CD from
http://www.slysoft.com/en/ It is only £20 and you can use it free for the first 21 days. It will make a .ISO file copy of the disc for you store on you PC. It will also copy many protected games.
Then you also download virtual clone drive which is free from the same site.
You load the virtual CD into the virtual drive and click to start the game and away you go.
An alternative to virtual clone drive (that I use and is also free) is Deamon tools from

Hope that helps

you have one of two solutions:
1. visit www.megagames.com and download the crack for all games to run without CD.
2. if you have disk space on your harddrive then download the virtual CD or nero image drive, make a copy of all your CD's as images on one of the above mentioned softwares, each time you want to play a game, just mount the image.
for more informations you can contact me?!

Here is a thought.Go to "My Computer" ,right-click the game you want to load.Click Open.And copy the files and data to your computer.Or something close like that.But don't this way can work on all Cd games!some of them may have some kind of firewall(to prevent free game must Be).

go to zdnet.com and download a virtual drive program, his lets the compuetr 'think' you have more than cd/dvd. the program will copy files to the v/drives and you'll be able to play the games, although some games wont work with virtual drives, try it anyway , you have nothing to lose !

You can put the disk in, go into 'my computer' and open the disk and drag and drop all the data onto your laptop, but I think you would be better in just waiting a minute and letting the game load off the disk,

Just download a cd-crack for that game. Search google for it, but be careful as there can be some viruses in some cracks. So just download from trusted sites. I don't think its illegal.

Only with the necessary hack someone else created for the game...
Its damn difficult to make them yourselves, so unfortunately, some times you just got to live with it.
