I have a legacy digital library that is programmed to read the data from a CD inserted in the optical drive.
Needless to say, this is a really slow way to search and display data. It's no way to work.
How can I fix this problem?
I tried converting it into an ISO and mounting it, but I always get back to the same problem. It tells me to insert the CD.

thanks. I tried changing it to D and to E but that didn't work.
apparently it has a copy-protection feature. There must be some special quality of the physical CD that doesn't copy onto the ISO.
