I would like to create a partition on my hard drive and copy a complete
CD-ROM onto that partition, convince my computer that the partition is a
CD-ROM, then install and run the software from there WITHOUT HAVING THE
ORIGINAL CD IN THE DRIVE.

I know I've seen a piece of software to do this, but I'm blowed if I can
remember where.

Does anyone out there know?

Partition Magic?   Does the software actually check to ensure that the
CD Rom is a genuine CD Rom?
