Kelsenellenelvian Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Here is a Control Panel Extension for Microsoft VirtualCDVirtual CDROM Control Panel descriptionVirtual CD-ROM Control Panel lets you create a virtual CD drive on your hard diskVirtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP lets you create a virtual CD drive on your hard disk. Some visitors to the site have confirmed that it works with Windows 2000 too (but this is not stated in Microsoft's official readme). For anyone unfamiliar with the terms 'virtual CD' or 'CD emulator', they mean that you can copy the entire contents of a CD-ROM to your hard disk and run the programs or access the files without the need for the original CD. Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel is able to make files faster, more accessible and more convenient. Given the speed and size of today's hard drives, you could easily fit a number of CDs onto your hard drive without noticing the difference. Assuming you had 30 full CDs, these would take around 20GB on a hard drive and all will be accessible after a few clicks of a mouse. Hard drives are about 10 times faster than a CD, plus you can instantly access the file instead of grabbing the CD case, inserting the CD and awaiting for the contents to load. It's true, you could try copying the files over to the hard drive, but this can get messy, plus some programs require a CD to be loaded in order to run. This virtual CD program 'pretends' it is a CD drive (even though the files are on your hard drive), so your programs will run as normal.It only works with ISO imagesYou may now use the drive letter as if it were a local CD-ROM device. When you are finished you may unmount, stop, and remove the driver from memory using the driver control.The needed driver is in your system32 dir so just browse there when you need it.Size - 20.9 kb MD5 Hash = C6B4D445A49773C86B13BC306F487D81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
