I would like to play this game. I have mounted the image on a virtual drive. I have tried installing it and I get

If the game is 5.02Gb you will need a dvd-9(dual layer) that holds 8.5Gb. A standard dvd-5(singal layer) will only hold 4.37Gb. I may be wrong but I don't think a game would play proper on virtual memory alone, most likly you won't have the speed needed. The amount of virtual memory can be changed in Control Panel, not sure that it can be changed to 5Gb though
