In the future, I ask that you not antagonize people just for asking a question.
There are two solutions to this. One is to disable the CD check entirely. This is commonly known as a "CD crack" and is generally associated with illegal copying. As such, you won't get any help here finding or creating such a crack.
The other is to fix the problem. Like Pete said, you're not doing anything to help us help you. Let's start with some basic system information:
How old is your system? What optical disk reader are you using? How did you create the image that you fed to Daemon Tools? What operating system are you running? Do you have the latest patches from your operating system vendor? Are you using the latest version of Diablo? Can you run other CD-bound games correctly, such as Starcraft or Diablo II? Have you ever been able to run Diablo or any other CD-bound games on this system? That is, did you obtain a system and find that it doesn't work or did you get up one day and find that the system no longer worked? You speak of compatibility modes, but it's not at all clear whether you're turning them on, turning them off, or trying both ways. You don't say which compatibility modes you tried.
These are the types of things you need to think about and volunteer whenever you ask for help with a problem. Not everyone is gracious enough to spend time articulating the questions you should've answered to begin with.
With regard to "antagonizing people": leave such policing to the moderators. Pete is a well respected member here, and I can't recall ever seeing him lay into someone and thinking that it wasn't well deserved. If someone goes over the line, the moderators will step in and remark on the thread or edit the posts as appropriate.
