+This short document will guide you through the steps needed to configure a virtual CD-ROM drive on your DOS computer. This will let you run games that normally require a CD-ROM, even on computers that do not have a physical CD-ROM drive installed.
+As a result, your games will run much faster, and you will not need to change CD's and cause undue wear on them. There is one drawback though. If the game relies on CD-Audio, you will not be able to hear the background music. If you know of a way or a workaround to enable CD-Audio, I'd like to know! :) Thanks.
+==== Download the BCD utility ====
+  * Go to [[:guides:CD-ROM Emulation|this page to download the BCD (Buldozer's CD faker)]]. This utility will make any drive letter on a DOS/WIN3/WIN95 computer look and behave like a standard CD-ROM drive. Please download and unpack the file bcd1_386.zip and then copy it onto your DOS computer.
+==== Step 1 - Extract files from the CD ====
+First thing you'll need to do is copy the files from your physical CD to the hard disk of your target computer. You will need to copy all files, including hidden files if there are any. Copy them to a folder you can easily recognize.
+==== Step 2 - Assign drive letter  ====
