OT: CD-less Operation

I use Nero6, and yes it writes images to a "virtual image drive" but does not offer a way to use the images. I just looked at Game Jackal, and it appears by their description that it would do what I want. It seems that I would have to use their image-writer though. (They call it "creating a profile"; I assume it's the same thing.) I was hoping to use Nero images, but I can't see anything that'll do that...

Just curious, did you happen to get Nero as part of a bundle when you bought your pc, and have since replaced or upgraded your CD drive? I had exactly the same problem you are describing with my Nero install and it took be three days of reading online manuals and forum postings before I figured out this was my problem. The copy of NERO I had was a special OEM license that was only useable with the combination of MB and CD drive that I bought it with. Even uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help. I can make images and virtual CD's, but it won't burn anything.
