Hi Phil
It is a long and weary process….or at least it was for me with all 18 of the CD’s.
You need to copy them into the root directory. In my case, they are not on my C: Drive (which I reserve only for applications) but are on my D: Drive.
So, create a Folder called e.g. DSS in the root directory – not in a nested Folder.
Copy the contents of each CD into this DSS directory, 1 CD at a time and this takes ages; the 18 CD’s have something like 1,300,000+ Folders!!
There are some common Folders and Files on each CD, so unless you exclude them from the copy, you will have to be at your computer when you get the message that “File XXX already exists – do you want to overwrite it” or something like that.
Once you have copied all the CD’s to you hard drive, you need to Share the DSS Folder and this again takes a loooong time due to the large number of Folders.
After you have Shared the DSS Folder, you then Map it to a Drive Letter e.g. R so it connects at log on.
In CCDSoft (my DSS file viewer) I then point the program to the (shared and mapped) DDS Folder on the R Drive.
Hope that helps!
Somewhere on the Software Bisque website, there is an article on how to do this.
Cheers
Dennis
