I haven't used Alcohol yet but am considering it. However, while it would certainly be convenient for my desktop PC, what I'm really interested in is using it to backup and run my PC games on my laptop that does not have an optical drive installed.
Will Alcohol work on a computer that does not have an optical drive? My plan is to create the disc image using my desktop PC and then transfer the image over to my laptop. Then use Alcohol to mount the image to an Alcohol drive on my laptop and run the game or program from there.
Am I making sense? I hope so. Let me know if this sounds doable.
Can Alcohol be used with computers that don't have a CD/DVD drive?

Hello switzer,
That makes sense and Alcohol is made for doing jus that (well, one of those things it can actually do)!
