    Bittorrent just finished its downloading and i have the files ready, but they are in iso form. I have a few cd burning programs but do i HAVE to rip it to a cd or is there a way i can just run it from my harddrive?

    You need a disc drive emulation tool like Daemon Tools or MagicDisc to mount the image on.

    But be aware, that if you want to discuss pirating games or playing pirated games, this isn't the forum for it.

    That you download from bittorrent. Sure, legal iso files you download from a torrent, those are real, and certainly that's what's going on here.

    ahaha the lovely scent of irony.
     
    But there are mind you...
     
    Like the Windows Vista Recovery Disk.
     
       
    Just because most of the stuff on torrent is illegal doesn't give the right to generalize that everything downloaded from a torrent is illegal. 
     
    And he just asked a question that can involve piracy, shouldn't we show a bit of respect for him, instead of messing with him?

    Guys I'm pretty disappointed in this thread. This really should have been funnier than it was. I expect more sarcasm/cruelty next time.

    Use UltraISO.  It's just a file compression program like 7zip but it deals with .iso files.  It opens, burns them to a disk, and you can make them, if you have the full version.  As far as opening a pre-existing file, the trial version should work for that.

    A Battlechest might still sell for 50, but that would be multiple games. Well Battlenet is the best part of Diablo/Starcraft and he won't be able to play on that so whatevs.

    Giant Bomb isn't a demoracy, it's a communistical dictatorship where you are "Innocent until I say you're guilty". And considering the likelyhood that the user is trying to access something illegal and the that pretty much all the replies consist of "OMGZZZZ U R PIRATING. U R EVILZZZZZ" - I say he's guilty.
