    Ok, I have a couple cd-less games.
    I got Virtual clone drive (had magicdisc and a different iso drive)
    and it allows me to mount and install the games.
    But when I go to play them, (mount the "play" dics/image), the virtual drive does not work then.

    What to do....what to do...
    What gives?

    I tried Gamecopy world.
    It requires one to copy the files to a CD.
    My cd/dvd/w/rw drive hasn't been able to write on a disc. It only reads.

    Neverwinter nights right now.
    But I've had the problem with Black & White, Daggerfall, and some other games I can't remember.

    I'm trying poweriso now.

    You could always spend $3.00 and get a new drive?

    They're not quite that cheap, but you can get them off craigslist cheaper than a dead hooker.

    $3?

    PowerIso did the same thing.
    No go.
