Back after a long absence looking for more help. I recently discovered an old game I enjoyed, "Ed Hunter" the Iron Maiden video game and installed it on Windows 7. Running in compatibility mode for Win95 with the disk in the drive it runs and plays just fine - I was wondering if I could find a way to copy the disks to the laptop so that I don't need to have the disk in the drive in order to play it.
The pertinent info:
Toshiba Satellite L755D
Processor: AMD A6-3400M APU with RADEON HD Graphics 1.40GHz
RAM: 4GB
64 Bit Operating System.
The problem as I see it is that it is one of those games where you put one disk in to install the game, and then need a second disk in the drive to run the game. I set up a shortcut to the .EXE file on my C drive, and this works fine as long as the 2nd disk is in the drive. I made a bin/cue file combination of the disk it wants in the drive and mounted them to a virtual drive F:, which shows up as edhunter.jfs . Not sure about the new file extension here.
Now, when I click the shortcut to EDHUNTER.EXE, it prompts me to Insert Disk 2. In the shortcut properties, I have the following:
TARGET: "C:\Program Files\Ed Hunter\EDHUNTER.EXE"
START IN: "F:\"
No matter how I try to arrange things I cannot get the game to run this way where it does not ask me to physically insert the disk into the drive D.
Help?
Thanks
