Do you mean something like GameDrive : http://www.farstone.com/home/ensite/...amedrive.shtml

Many current games will refuse to install/run if you have virtual drives on your computer so keep that in mind before you decide to use one.
If you don't want to mess with game cds than a "no cd" patch for that particular game, once you've installed it, is a better idea ( and much more likely to be considered legal ).
Check out this site for them : http://www.gamecopyworld.com/
