Warwick, I admit I am not an avid gamer, but I believe that many games were made to be non-hard disk installable as a means of copy protection. If the disk is not TOS copyable, likely it's not designed to run on a hard disk either (although there are exceptions). Fortunately, I believe this trend is going the way of the dinosaur as most of the new stuff I have seen is not copy protected and is installable on one's hard disk. --- ___________________________ John "HUTCH" Hutchinson _________________________ _________________ Fair Dinkum Technologies Member - IAAD _______________ ________________ "No worries, mate... it's from Fair Dinkum!" _______________ ____________ email: hutch@bellman.lanl.gov GEnie: FAIR-DINKUM _____________
