Easiest way under Windows, and probably Linux and WINE too, is to use 
something like DaemonTools. Make an ISO image of the disk(s), then set 
of the tools to support as many virtual CD drives as you need, and 
assign them to the ISO images. Never had the disk space for it, and 
finding something that *can* make an ISO from most of the damn CDs they 
make now is a bit hard, since a lot of them have bloody encryption on 
them. DaemonTools will emulate some of the scemes needed to "read" an 
ISO that has been encoded with them, but you "still" have to get the ISO 
on the drive somehow.
