How to use a Virtual Drive for Battlefield 1942

[PcCowboy]

I'm trying to run Battlefield 1942 1.2 from my Hard-drive by using a virtual cd drive. But I can't get it to work. I tried Hekko but it will not image the cd correctly. Nero won't make a ISO file of this CD so I can't use Nero Image drive. It reports an error that the cd is in the wrong mode for burning. Virtual Drive 7 seems to work. I load the image into the drive and autorun starts the control panel. But when I click play the game the computer locks up. Does anyone know of a Virtual drive program that will work with this game?
