What's the best way to have a program not boot from CD?

[butters149]

Hi,

I just bought this human anatomy program from the apple store and installed it, upon trying to run it, it asks me to insert the DVD, is there a way to have it not do this? Can I create a .iso image to always have it in my HD? I hate the optical drive on my macbook pro, its so loud.

Thanks,

Usually, that works fine. I do that with X-Plane. You just need to mount the .iso image before running the app.

Yes. Use Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utility folder). From there, you create a new image by selecting the volume from the left-hand list, then, using File > New > Disk Image from "<volume name>". Under "image type", select "cd/dvd master".

I have a Clip Art application that has the clips on 3 DVDs. When I choose a clip in the browser, it then tells me to insert disc 1, 2 or 3. Would this disk image solution work in this case as well?

Probably. Worth a try, anyway.
