Perhaps I asked the question incorrectly. The image is on
a CD-ROM. I have several disks I wish then students to
access, however I only have 1 CD-Drive in the machine.
How can I copy the image to the hard drive as so the
program will thoink its looking at a CD and not files
copied from a CD onto a HD?
