Problem using CD & DVD-sharing

Question

I've recently bought me self a new Macbook Air (the teeny one, 11.6 with 60 gb) and I am using it for college purposes mainly.

Problem is that college is rather boring, so I'd like to install Warcraft on it but I'm rather poor after I spend every last dime on this mac, so I can't afford an external CD/DVD-drive ;)

And so I stumbled upon the magnificent CD & DVD sharing thingy... I slammed my Warcraft 3 disc into the drive of my PC with drive sharing enabled and all, and I've checked that it is supposed to be able to run on a Mac but when I try to access the drive it is thinking a lot and then it says: (roughly translated from danish):

Action could not be completed, because the original subject to "Warcraft III" doesn't exist

I tried with the Frozen Throne disc, same message with "TheFrozenThrone" instead of Warcraft III...

What the fudge am I supposed to do to make this work?? ;) Normally I would install it to my external HDD and then just move it, but since my other computer is a windows powered PC this won't work, aye?

Anywho, I hope you guys can help :)

Best regards,
Lasse

Additional info: Mac OS X Lion
Practically no HDD-space used
The PC with the drive is with Windows 7, is that a problem? :)

Answer 1

If you copy the CD to a disk image on the PC, you can put the image on a USB stick and transfer it to your Air. I am not sure how to do this on Window, but I'm sure you can find out how to do this somewhere.

WinImage looks like it should do what you want.

Also look at this article on creating CD images on Windows.
