I used to do that. I had CDs burned with installs of old games like Unreal Tournament, Quake I and II, etc... it just becomes a hastle as you can never change your settings, and you're generally one of the last ones in the game due to slow loading times. If you're really that low on hard drive space, I reccomend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822210003

80GB for around $40 with shipping. Kind of hard to pass up if you're low on hard drive space.
