Installing All Riven Disks on the Hard Drive
Installing Riven CDs onto the Hard Disk
so you don't have to keep changing disks.
Read everything before starting.
Each CD has MHK data folders (for example, disk 2 has "t_data.MHK; some
disks
have more than one MHK file)
Copy the x_DATA.MHK (where X= any letter) from the DATA folder on your CD's
into the C:\Program Files\Riven\Data\ folder in your computer.
Replace "riven.cfg" file.
(in C:\Program Files\Riven\).
Here is a riven.cfg file with comments added
(start here)
Riven.cfg starts below

end of Riven.cfg
I suggest that you open windows explorer, go to your program files folder,
and open the Riven folder.
Then double click on the Riven.cfg file, and when it asks for the program to
open the file with choose Notepad
***Be sure to uncheck "always use this program to open this file
*** make the changes I have indicate above
*** do not include the comments that are in parenthesis.
Post by TheFonzFor what it's worth, I also wanted to do this and couldn't as such. But
what I was able to do was use my Virtual CD v3 to create CD images of each
of the CDs on my hard drive (incidentally my version is only 5 CDs). It
still wants CD1 in the physical drive on start-up, but VCD allows you to
have 6 virtual CD drives, each with a different Riven CD in so you never
need to change CD.
Post by TheFonzOther software should be able to do a similar thing.
Hope that helps.
