soldiers of ww2 emulated perfectly

[Pike_queenhorn]

Quite interesting method to beat SF3 with a mini image instead over LAN-
until now I always went with my original SF Games (or Game- Toca2),
but now I think I will try to avoid further DJing with my original CDs too-
only Prob is I can't think of an effective method to disable my IDE Drive other than unplugging its power (which is no option since I play on a Laptop).
So my question: Other than disabling WinXP file protection (which I think is very interesting, but I only want to go this far if nothing else works- why does it fool SF, anyway?), are there any alternative methods to fully disable your IDE Drives under WINXP(didnt find any in a forum search)?
Thanks in advance for any help!
