Burning ISO Image to PC from a Physical Disk

Not having to insert game CDs into the CD drive is a good reason to do this. I recently used BurnAware's "Copy to ISO" function.
Once you have the ISO (CD/DVD image) on your hard drive, you can use a virtual drive from Elaborate Bytes to mount the image.

Currently I am making ISO disk images of the following games:
Halo 2
BioShock
GTA III
Assassin's Creed
