Hi, i have unreal Tournament 2004, and HALO and dont want to insert the CD's when i want to play them since I usually have my ultrabay slim in the drive, any software (pref freeware) where i can do something about this?

BTW, i got plenty of freespace

Well, you answered your own question; you have to installed in your HDD.
There are multiple software out there that can read an ISO file containing the CD as it were a drive itself.
Two famous ones are Daemon Tools and Nero ImageDrive.

Try this software: Circle Virtual CD, I did a search and it turned up, I am gonna try it now for the same reason you need it.....

Here is a pretty small one that I found from Microsoft a while ago:

imo, the best way to do this is create images of the cd's using isorecorder and then mounting the iso's using daemon tools

Don't bother - just search the web for a "no cd crack" for the games you want to play - which is usually a hacked version of the .exe . Copy the hacked exe for your original one on your hard drive and no more cd's. Kazaa is usually a good source for such things.

Here - have this snippet of information as a gift from me:

As of the 3204 Patch, UT2004 no longer checks for the presence of your game CD in the drive. That effectively means the game now has a "built-in" No-CD patch, which means you don't need to download and install any other No-CD patches, executables or cracks from anywhere else.

Just go to the official UT2004 site for the free download - happy gaming!

www.gamecopyworld.com

It is probably not the most legal site arround but they should have all the patches to make your games run without the CD in the drive.

I recommend the following:

FarStone Virtual Drive http://www.farstone.com

In the years I've been using it, there have been only TWO (yes, *2*) cd's it would NOT copy for me, and BOTH of them were physically cracked and were barely readable in the first place.

Everything else I've handed it, audo, data, & DVD's, is now a VCD on my hard drive, and with two mouse clicks I can have ANY of those VCD images "live" and ready to use... And with the "Auto-launch ProgramX on insert", all my DVD's auto-play when I click the VCD file, the games auto start, and I don't have to hunt for my driver cd's when I need to reinstall some obscure bit of code because the latest Windows security patch hjorked something ELSE that the other programs were dependant upon...
(laughing)

No, I don't work for FarStone, I'm just a VERY satisfied customer. <8-)
