I run some programs from CD on my computer. I tried to copy these CDs on my hard drive so that I can run them from hard drive instead rather than carrying cds with me all the time. But they dont run from hard disk even when I tried to install them fresh from files on my hard disk. Is there any way to run programs from hard drive instead of cd?
Thanks

You need a program like Vitrual Drive or CD-Anywhere. I use CD Anywhere:

There is a program called "Game Drive".
It copies a pc game to the hard drive to improve performance (and you dont need the CD to start the game, so I think).
I've never used this program, and I'm not sure if you can use it with reg. programs.

No.
Nero has absolutely nothing to do with that.
