Alex Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi guys, I've been trying to get my windows XP machine to mount the DVD drive off my Mac so I can play a game that requires there to be a disk in the drive. My XP machine does not have a DVD drive, hence relying on the mac. I was able to get the PC to see the contents of the drive through samba and even installed the game, but when I try to run, it keeps asking for that disk. I've made an .iso of the DVD on the mac and mounted on the XP machine it in a virtual drive using Alcohol 120% but no dice. Is there some way to share /dev/disk1 that XP will accept as a drive instead of just a share folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickisgod1 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 probably possible, but probably not that fast you may want to jusr copy the iso and use something like this http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/...rol-Panel.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 i would say ur ISO idea failed because ur not using Daemon tools, the issue with using Alcohol is that it lacks support for safedisk, and other anti-cracking software, so give daemon a try.

Sparda Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The mac should have no problems creating a iso image btw. dd if=/dev/<I don't know mac device names> of=/root/dvd.iso replace <I don't know mac device names> with the DVD drives device name, I could tell you if if there where using Linux or FreeBSD ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxAtimiskxx Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Try magicdisk is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 umm i think he knows how to make the image, though i was just saying when mounting with Alcohol to mount an ISO, it doesnt allow u to bypass security on the disc, so its better to use Daemon.

Alex Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I created the .iso through the terminal like that. It still failed in daemon tools with SafeDisk emulation turned on. Then I found a suggestion to disable any existing drives with device manager and mount the .iso in daemon tools, still no dice. I found a no cd version that'll let me play single player, and I might just break down an buy a $20 dvd rom drive from newegg. It's annoying having to keep a disk in a drive, any other suggestions? Am I using daemon tools right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
