C&C Gens Great - CD porting STINKS!

I know, they just want to protect their investment, but I'm sick of carrying 
around all of these CD's. I bought the game, put it on my laptop (along with 
16 other games), and just want to carry the laptop around - NOT a case of 
CD's as well. All of the NO CD fixes I've downloaded fail. Any chance some 
one out there knows of a real (easy hopefully) way to avoid carrying the CD 
around?

Thanks.

I'm using a NoCD crack so I can assure that there are definitly
functional cracks. Look for those which replace both the generals.exe
and the game.dat file as those which only replace the generals.exe file
will cause your buildings to explode about a minute into the game.

Easy. Get a disc ripping program (CloneCD, Blindwrite, Alcohol 120%) and
rip images of the C&C discs (using the appropriate settings). Copy said
images on to laptop hard drive and mount with Daemon Tools. This has the
benefit of copying the copy protection so that you don't need any cracks
and don't have to worry about patches undoing them.

Honestly dude, its really not that hard to carry CD's around compared
to the amount of time it will take you to get a CD ripping program, and
not to mention not using the CD's takes up a whole lot more space on
your hard drive.
