complete noob question about using clonecd to copy game to hard drive

[iansilv]

Hi-
I think I am in the right place- if I want to copy a game that i own to a hard drive so it does nto make me insert the stupid disk every time, can clone cd do that? Or should I use clone dvd? i just want to be able to play c&c generals without havign to insert the damn disk every time. I own the game, I buy my games, will clonecd help me use them without this annoying step?
thank you

To my knowledge, no. Generally it is in the game programming to run from the CD, unless there is an option at the install that lets you copy the whole program to disk. CloneCD is used to be able to make a back-up of the game so all the scratches and other problems that can happen to your discs, won't ruin your original. Someone else may know a way though.

After looking some more, have you tried Virtual CloneDrive? It is free and might allow you to not load CDs. http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html
