All I can offer is some general advice, common to many MS products. In the installer, make sure you choose "install to hard-drive" (or something similar) instead of "install on first use" (or something similar). The default install options are a mix of these two options (plus "not installed"), and the only sure way to not get prompted for a disk is to do a full install (i.e. not "typical" / "default" ...), forcing all options onto the hard-drive at install.

Otherwise, your options are limited. If the CD prompt allows you to specify a location to look for files, you might be able to point to a complete copy of the CD you've made onto your hard-drive... If this is not allowed by the CD prompt then we're likely getting into the area of bypassing copy protection, which is not going to be discussed here.
