The error "No CD/DVD-ROM drive found" when launching Pro Evolution Soccer 6
It seems you’re looking for a solution to the error message: when trying to run Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PES 6) with a no-CD patch.
The most direct and verified method to bypass this check is replacing the original game file with a "No-CD" patched version. Locate your game folder : This is usually found in C:\Program Files (x86)\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 6 Download a verified No-CD Patch : Reliable repositories for this include Archive.org and community-vetted sites like Replace the .exe file file inside the downloaded folder. Copy and paste it into your main PES 6 installation folder. "Replace the file in the destination" when prompted. Launch the game : Run the new directly from the folder or create a new desktop shortcut. Alternative Fix: Mini-Image Mounting
This is the correct solution. You do not need the CD in a drive; you need a modified pes6.exe that bypasses the check entirely. However, many "no-CD" files online are viruses or simply do not work.
pes6.exe → Properties → Compatibility → Check "Run as administrator."Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KONAMI\PES6 exist? If not, run the game once as admin to create it.NO_DRIVE. The crack interprets this as “no disc drive = no game.”
