I have a friend that has ultra light laptops he cant play Reg computer games like sim city or Civ 3 or any game that needs a CDRom. Why well some of the time you have to buy a Docking Station That has a cdrom drive on it. Which is not bad if your just sitting at home. But what about if your a passanger in the car. And you want to play it. Well it tuff Luck for them. Well I m going to be looking into pointing this out to the Game industry.

Even Me I have a Full size Laptop. I dont care to be Holding cd to get scrached. And make my bag Heavyier

Why in the hell do we need CDROM and a hard drive. For a game. I Rather Install the Game and put the cd Up.

One thing the Game industry can do something like this. Every Few weeks it ask for Cd.

And guys dont even start with It to help stop hackers. Everyone knows you can down load a game And they give you the Password.
 
Your friend can always partition his drive and copy an image off the cd to the partitioned drive and bingo, a cd-rom. Also some games you can find a no cd patch on the internet. Sometimes cds are needed for movie files and large files, most of the time though its just so your not playing it on two seperate computers at the same time.

Ya I tried the image trick. It no go. And I would not have to worrie about partions on my Laptop for it has dual 80gig hard drives. Now I can see with the ultralight doing the partions. But a question what program is good for imaging.

And another fact with the imaging a program onto a laptop. Most laptops only have 20 to 60 gigs. There are some simi Rare laptops that has 80 gigs and Very rare like my Laptop that has two 80 gigs. And the ultralights they tend to have 20 to 40gb. Just to save power.
 
Use no-CD patch
