Is CD drive needed for ICR2?

I am thinking about buying Indycar II but I don't have a CDROM drive at home (its a laptop). I should be able to transfer the files onto my hardrive but I though I heard that the CD was needed for copywrite protection. If this is true how can I get around not having the CD drive. Thanks for helping a "newbie". Ken PS this is the 2nd time I've tried to post this.

I'm not sure about th win95 version(it probably installs the same as the dos version), but if you have about 40meg free you can just copy the whole game to your hard-drive, and you won't need the cd at all. -- Brian Fox The Fox Den: Nascar and ICR2 http://www.4w.com/pages/fox AND/OR http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1238 When I die, I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather in his sleep, not screaming like the other passengers in his car.

in the drive. All files are on the hard disk.

Just do a full installation and race from your hard drive. -- **************************** Michael E.

No as long as you do a full install you can copy the files. There is no copy protection.

Thanks to all who responded. It'll be nice to get the full version after using the demo. Ken
