well you could try copying from the dvd to the hdd in “iso” or “disc image” mode. that would give you an image to load with an emulator program such as daemon tools. that’s basically the same as loading it off the disc, only it won’t read even half as quickly… that is if that’s all you really want it for…

btw if i were you, i’d decode it with a “shrinking” program, then do a simulated “burn” to the hdd in “image” mode. that will reduce the size it takes up on the hdd. 4 gigs vs 8+gigs. 🙂
