Yeah, it wouldn't be a problem to download it from let's say a site run by evil sailors, but my crappy mobile broadband has a 12 GB limit, and I'm already pushing it! Ended up with at mix of your suggestions, found a NOCD, but it wouldn't work in 64-bit so I had to run it in Dosbox to get it working. I also had to use v1.00 because the graphics got messed up in 1.09b for some reason. I then had to copy the CD to disk and change the CD-path in the registry, so much work! After getting it to work in my desktop without a CD it was just a matter of copying the whole thing over on a USB and exporting the CD-path entry in the registry from my desktop to my laptop. Sadly though, my laptop had some major performance issues with the game.
This sounded too complex, but just wrote it up in case someone else has this issue, and no immediate access to the... uhm... cove.
So, topic says it all really. Have just started my (insert high number here)-playtrough of D1 on my desktop, but I really want to continue on my laptop. Problem is, my lappy doesn't have a CD ROM-drive so I can't install it from my old CD. How to best solve this?
I could always find a pirated version, but I'm trying to avoid it.
Blizz should really let you download D1 from b.net, like if you own D2 or soon D3. Same goes for WC1, it would be nice to have all my blizzgames available online.
