It should be simple ...

Well, I thought I would make my computer a portable library. All I wanted to do was run an encyclopedia from the hard drive. But for some reason I can't get the copy I made of the disk to run from the disk. The program asks me to insert the disk!

Help me, anyone! This whole disk won't take up more than a gig of space on my 40 gig hard-drive. Why can' t I make XP substiture the path commands?

I am NOT a GEEK. So someone let me know if I can copy a disk to my hard-drive in order to USE the data without turning on the CD drive. I would like to have a working encyclopedia with easy access.

It should be simple!

Thanks. The "subst" function created the drive, but I can't put anything in it.

The emulator creates the drive, but freezes up when it attempts to put the "image" of the disk into the drive.

I am going to try it once more before I uninstall the emulator you mentioned. I am sure there is one that works for me.

BTW, haven't I seen you replying to Rock's blog? :-)

Thanks, again. I will the subst command tomorrow evening. I tried using the "Original CD Emulator" (OCDE.exe)I downloaded from tztekware.com.

Right now, I've got to post today's blog. I am going to try to post some video of the grandson!
