I've posted this question on some NT newsgroups but there
were mostly brain dead people...
I think I need a NT 4 device driver who can pull this off
but I can't find one. If it's really necessary I can write
the driver (I have the NT 4 DDK stuff) but I prefer a download...
Onno.

I've seen a little program which does this- you get a drive mapping,
this program creates another one which gives a view of the first as if
it were a CD. But for the life of me I can't remember its name. A
guy I know was using it to get around stupid copy protection stuff.

1. CD-ROM mount needs source <--> source needs CD-ROM mount
I've just ploughed through the entirety of misc,hardware and setup, to no
avail; I installed Linux from the sbpcd boot disk (as I have a Panasonic
CD-ROM drive hanging off a SoundBlaster-compat. card), and the CD-ROM drive
chugged away happily to give me the OS. However, my concerns about the size of
everything I was prompted to install made me decide NOT to install the linux
source.
Now, when I boot up the CD drive cannot be mounted because of 'wrong fs, blah
blah, or other error'. I interrogated sbpcd.h (I *did* install the includes)
and the setup was incorrect. Because I can't mount the CD drive I can't get
the source off the CD - re-booting off the boot disk (sbpcd) and trying a
reinstall from the CD using setup gives a warning that the CD drive can't be
mounted.
Should I delete the linux partition and start from scratch again? I do really
need to access the CD drive, and I realise now that it is kind of useful to
have the OS source.
Apart from that, it's great having a proper OS on my PC at last!
