Can someone recommend a procedure for copying a Windows game cd to a USB flash drive with my Fedora 20 system. My grandson has a new HP computer and game however he has no CD drive to install it with. I would gain some status if I can come to the rescue!
Thanks,
Bob
My phone doesn't allow for bottom posting. Sorry.
Personal preference for doing what you want would be mounting the usb stick without opening in file manager and opening a split window in konqueror.
Once navigate to the cdrom, duplicate the structure of the cdrom on the stick.
Unless there is a copy protectin scheme on the cd, this should work.

"konqueror" I believe that's a KDE application that I don't have but I will look into it. Copy protection, a factor I had not thought of? I have a drive adapter kludge that may permit using a CDroom drive via his USB port ...
Thank you for the suggestion,
Bob
Yvw. Might be able to do something similar with another file manager.
There are progs for wine that gets around some copy protection schemes. One was called no-cd. Haven't played video games since Janes boughtout Micropose.

Rip the game on Fedora box, save as iso, use deamon-tools (windows) to install and play. Keep his disk away safe.
