I want to make CD with installed games that can be played from it
without the need to copy them on hard drive. Is there some driver that
can do this.
Driver that can read from CD and when is asked to write on game dir
(for savegames or config) it relocate data to some dir on the hard
drive.

Depends on the game.  Some games allow for this, but others will run into
problems.

You might be able to get away with the Dos "Append" command, which opens
files on another directory as if they were in the current directory.  I
suspect you still need the exectuable file on the hard-drive...
