I would not recommend using the driverstation for programming unless you really have no other option. However, our team always rips the CDs provided to an ISO with software such as ISODisk (
http://www.isodisk.com/ ). And ISO is basically an exact copy of a CD, you can mount the ISO to a virtual disk drive with software like Virtual CloneDrive (

Good luck!
