Battlefield 2 Newb help

[so2315]

It didn't help me as I don't know much about this stuff. I do have nero and made an image of my CD and mounted it in a virtual drive but it didn't work. It asks for the cd to be inserted. I just want to use Nero's virtual drive and mount my cd in it so I don't have to put it in and out to play and kids won't scratch it up. I have seen the images on this site, but they talk about renaming stuff so you don't get blacklisted. I have the store copy, just want to preserve it and use it in a virtual drive.
