Although Blizzard made such techniques pointless by allowing their software to be used without the CD, for reference purposes I had a fair amount of success creating No-CD hacks prior to the patch where the functionality changed by disabling the CD checks. They were implemented using the GetLogicalDriveStringsA and GetDriveTypeA Windows API's.

Also for future reference, unless I am mistaken, I believe that No-CD hacks are still a taboo topic here regardless of the functionality change.
