I tried downloading a Native Instruments Program onto an external hard drive. That did not work. It copied everything but the actual program.
I'm thinking of the notion to download a program onto the external hardrive, in which to act as a fake drive so that this laptop can run through the downloading process via the external hard drive.
I can't conk the term for what the program, or a general name for what the program may be called.
I am thinking of a meta drive or some such.
Help and comments are appreciated.

I struggled to try and figure out what it is you're wanting to do and why. Can you try and clarify?
The best I can decipher, you're wanting to make a virtual drive on an external drive? That doesn't make sense.
What are you trying to do?

I would primarily like to have the whole CD on my external hard drive.

You want to make an .iso image of the CD/DVD so you can then mount that image as a virtual disc.
PowerISO, MagicISO, Iso Buster, all of these can do this.

I'm not really sure how you managed to NOT copy the program data, but I do know there are some tricks used to make that harder for 'copyright' reasons - ie. tagging the data as an audiostream and gayness like that.
If you have access to a lunix machine you can use dd, ie.
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/isofile.img but with windows you'll need a either need a third party application as above or the ISO creation tool on the microsoft site:
