Sadly some games have lately decided that forcing us to put a cd in the drive discourages piracy, which it doesn't. All they do is annoy the buyers and force us who are tech savvy to get a pirated copy to fully enjoy the game.

I want everything on my harddrive. I barely ever use my dvd/cd-reader anymore, it's almost become as obsolete as the floppydrive. When I buy music I just rip it to ogg vorbis and never use that cd again, not that I buy music on cd anymore, I get new music from artists that release their music for free directly on he internet.
Get Daemon Tools and ImgBurn. Both are free. Daemon Tools "emulates" a DVD-ROM drive. It makes the computer think that it's a real drive. You use ImgBurn to copy your games from disc to hardrive. You then load the saved cd/dvd "image" in Daemon Tools and it will work just like having a real CD/DVD in a real drive. So what you will have is a large ISO file, which is a copy of the CD/DVD. You load that ISO file in Daemon Tools and it makes it act like it's a CD/DVD. You need a lot of hardrive space if you have a lot of games. But the load times will be much faster.
