So, I have Age of Empires on a USB flash drive, and could get it installed. the problem I run into now is it says it needs a game cd to play. kinda figured, but i have other games that dont need one, so i was hopeful. Anyway, Ive tried launching the game with the USB plugged in, hoping the game would see it as a game cd, but no luck.

Any ideas how I could get it to work? thanks as always!

Found the fix. Mount the ISO, then install the game from the mounted iso, and it works fine. Used WinXP Virtual CD Control Panel.
