Not necessary.
in3rt!a, did you install the game from your actual CD drive? If so your registry is looking for the information at that location, so when you mount your ISO, your FF7.exe doesn't even look at your virtual drive. You'll need to manually change that in the registry for it to look at G: drive, for example, as opposed to E: or whatever your CD/DVD drive is. If you're unfamiliar with regedit, I can walk you through the process. It's not as technical as it sounds.
It's a shame pirating is such a problem (I mean with it running rampant, not that the board has a problem with it) because I try to use No-CD patches with all of my games so I don't even have to mess around with the CDs.
