I have the W210 and W211 service manuals on DVD which I run on a Windows XP machine. They are designed to be run from the DVD drive. However, I would like to copy the files on to the hard drive and run from there without further use of the discs.

So I created directories and copied the files. But when I run viewer.exe, it wants to find it on the DVD. So, with the disc back in the drive, it works fine and accesses the file from the hard drive...it doesn't appear to have any further use for the DVD. So this is certainly better in that it's faster. But is there any way I can run the whole thing entirely from the hard drive?
