Playing games without the CD

I've just got a load of those kids games (those BBC ones) and I want to be able to play them without the CD. I've copied the contents of the CD to the hard drive and installed them from there, but they still prompt me to insert the CD each time they start. Can anyone help?

Most games use some sort of copy protection that checks to see if a genuine disk is in the drive. Being able to play the game without a cd might be considered a way to by-pass protection.
BUT being a gamer, I hate having to hunt for my cd cases, even if the game uses a cd key verification system. CD based copy protection mostly only hurts people who pay for it in the first place.
all I know is you only need a daemon virtual cd and your good to go.
Doesn't usually work, most of the time you still need a no-cd crack.
EDIT: Just saw the link was already posted... so nevermind...

Great sites.
Also, Deamon Tools for images.
best bet because there old bbc games CD cracks might be hard is to download alchaol 120%, burn the cd into an image format (a .cue and .bin files onto your pc) and use alcahol to make a virtual cd drive, mount the .cue file onto the virtual drive and it'll think a cd is in the drive,
worsk everytime for me, and since there old games, shouldnt be a problem
