Need help with putting game on laptop for college?

So, I'm headed off to college now, and i want to continue to have Empire Earth 2 to occupy some free time, but my younger brother will still be at home and wants access to the game. It's one of the older style games that doesn't allow you to do a full install to run the game without the disc, so I was curious if there was a possible way to emulate the disc. I've already attempted copying all files from the original CD-ROM to a DVD, but that didn't work. Any suggestions, or any other places I could check for help?
