  • Thermaplugg

    I mounted a game disc .iso so that I wouldn’t need to use my disc when i was walking around with my laptop. It worked for everything except when I attempted to run the program. Then I tried reinstalling it from the .iso to see if that would help, but i still get the same error message “Please verify that your ______________ disc is in your CD-ROM drive, then click on ‘Retry’.” And nothing I’ve tried works.. Help, please?

    I need some advice please, I ave mounted a program to my virtual drive, works perfectly, but when I try delete the file off my hard drive, it says that I can’t, as it is in use. I have tried to burn it to Virtual drive, and it keeps asking me to put a cd in. What do I do???, I put it on the Virtual drive to try and save some space on my hard drive, I look forward to a solution, waiting in anticipation. pp
