corjello Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Does any regulars here use virtual drives on their computers? A long time ago i had one, which was recommended to me by my cousin (now works with network security) and i have no idea what it was called. I dont feel like bothering him for a name, so i figured i would try here. I found this one, http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/announcements.php but i simply dont know if it is good or not. Any suggestions? )corjello( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 ive got it on my computer. to be honest, a buddy put it on when he came over and reinstalled my windows this fall. i havent a clue what it does. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corjello Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 heh, well what you can do is, take a cd rom and put it in. Then the virtual drive will copy it to your harddisk and everytime you would need to place the cd in the cd drive, your computer would just read off the data from the virtual drive. Very handy if you know what your doing. oh and theres other uses also, i just use it for the cds. )corjello( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 so you mean i could plug my dvds into the system and it would store them on my harddrive? that would be cool. then i wouldnt have to dig em out anytime i want to see a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted January 5, 2006 Administrator Share Posted January 5, 2006 You can use that or Alcohol 120%. You mount virtual images onto the drives to play/install games, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xd3vilx Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 daemon is not a bad tool too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapse Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I use daemon tools, can get around pretty much 95% of the game copy protections out there, if you get one that says "a virtual drive has been detected" then theres a tool called "virtual-cd-hide.exe" which will hide the drive from the game.. but still be accessible like a regular CD. i use daemon tools for when i download iso's and need a specific file.. or want to run it like a normal CD but without burning a CD.
