    I have a few recipe CD's that I own. I would like to be able to use the recipe disc without actually having to have the CD in the tray.

    How exactly do I go about doing that? Do I create an iso file and map it so that the software looks for the iso file somewhere in my computer and not the CD drive ?

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition. Any help would be appreciated.

    I believe you can create an iso file and then mount it with a program like DaemonTools.

    Ok, I created an iso file of the CD using UltraISO and mounted it to Daemon Tools. Worked like a charm. I will try my second CD tomorrow. :D
