Greetings.
I remember a few years ago people talking about being able to copy a disk image onto a hard drive, and then be able to work off of that image rather than leaving the disks in the drives. It was mostly gamers talking about it at the time.
Here is the situation.
I have a auto shop (very dirty) that has the reference material on CD’s. (pay subcription, but legal copies).
Because it is very dusty/dirty, the drives don’t last long, so they can’t look up their data.
They also have four CD’s that they have to switch between through out the day. While working on a car/truck, clean hands is NOT an option, and the disks suffer for it.
I would like to copy to the HD the disks and have the software package still think it is looking at the CD’s.
I would also need to update/replace the images as the new updated disks come in, over the network, allowing me to not have to keep replacing CD/DVD drives every few months.
All systems are running Window XPproSp2.
Thanks all.
