I'm afraid I don't know the answer, but I've seen it somewhere (either on this site or on the official BBS site.) You might want to do a search on the two sites with transfer file as the keyword.

Or I may have seen it on the technical help section on the official BBS:
http://eagames.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/eagames.cfg/php/enduser/sims2_std_alp.php

Or you could wait until one of the software techies come along. (I'm more into hardware.)

You might try to install the game from the hard drive. It takes a little time, but it's not too difficult. Here's how you do it:
1. Create a folder in the root of your C: drive, and name it "Disk Images".
2. Create four new folders in the "Disk Images" folder, and name them "Disk1", "Disk2", "Disk3" and "Disk4".
3. Open The Sims 2 CD1, mark all the files and folders and copy them to the "Disk1" folder. The same goes for the rest of the CDs; CD2 to the "Disk2" folder and so on.....
4. Open the "Disk1" folder and double-click "AutoRun.exe"
