What is the best way to run cd/dvd programs off of hard drive?

best dvd players windows 7 image

John

I have a new Windows 7 Ultrabook (no dvd drive) laptop. Just wondering how best to run old programs/games off of the hard drive? I have a external dvd player to transfer the files. Thanks.
Some games (like Madden/Civilization) require you to leave the CD/DVD in the Drive and not run it completely off the CD/DVD Drive.
I mean run it completely off the hard drive.

Answer
It's best to reinstall any applications or games on the new computer instead of copy and pasting the files over. Sometimes that will work but a lot of the time the programs have dependencies installed in other places (such as the registry or a folder with saved data).

To transfer you will need to hook up your old hard drive to a PC and burn the files to a cd or flash drive.

I installed windows 7 and my DVD is not working?

I have an acer aspire t690, I installed windows 7 and i seemed to have lost the driver for my cd-dvd player. I tried insllaing the resource dvd and it does not work or read disc? Is there an upgrade or did I do something wrong. How do I re-install vista from windows 7.

Answer
All you need to do is install updated device drivers for your cdrom from acer.com. Once you arrive, you will need to visit support then downloads. You will not be charged for your download, ensure to retrieve all updates and patches for your cdrom and that they are for the vista operating system which happens to be fully compatible with windows 7.
