Can I play without a DVD Drive?

I bought GTA IV - EFLC today.
I have got 2 DVDs and CD-Key. (also a printed map and manual. I like it.)
What I don't have yet is a DVD Drive on my Gaming Rig.

Any Ideas on how to run it?

Can I make iso files of the DVDs from my laptop and use them.
Did anyone try this? Did it work?

Does shared network drive work?

You need to have the the game's DVD-ROM in a DVD drive attached to your laptop. The PC version of GTA IV uses a disk check as part of its copy protection. There's no way around this without defeating this copy protection measure, something we can't help you with here.

Connecting a USB DVD drive to your PC should allow you to play the game. Alternatively the Steam version of GTA IV doesn't require a disk in the drive, but that would be mean buying a second copy of the game.
