Virtual Optical drive Daemon Tools Introduction

Some of the games now, even some software, in order to prevent piracy, in the use of the need to insert a disc to confirm or read data to normal use, in the longer term, the CD once damaged, it will not be able to run the game or software. This is not to say, the use of the game or software for how long, the optical drive on the work, seriously affect the life of the optical drive, we can use virtual optical drive to solve this problem. Download the resources on the Internet now load to cue, BIN, ISO, img Files of these types of formats is not the start? In fact, these are the optical images, we can use the virtual CD-ROM to load them and then we will be able to insert the same as the CD. Next we introduce a popular virtual optical drive software (daemontools), learned to use it, virtual optical drive and the production of CD-ROM image files will not be able to fail you.

Let's start by figuring out two concepts.

Virtual Optical drive: Virtual optical drive is a simulation (CD-ROM) working tool software, can generate and your computer installed on the same optical drive can be the same virtual optical drive, ordinary physical optical drive can do the same as the virtual CD-ROM can do, it works is the first virtual out of one or more virtual optical drive, After mirroring the application on the disc and the related structure information on the hard disk and generating a mirrored file for the virtual CD drive, you can then put the mirrored file into the virtual CD drive in Windows95/98/nt, so you do not have to place the CD in the CD drive when you want to start the application later. There is no need to wait for the CD-ROM drive to start slowly, just download the CD-ROM image in the virtual CD-ROM, the virtual disc is immediately loaded into the virtual CD drive, fast and convenient, and eliminates the failure to read the disc.

CD-ROM Image: the so-called optical disk image file is also called a CD-ROM file, its storage format and the same as the optical disk file system, can truly reflect the contents of the physical disc. You can make a CD-ROM image file from the entire disc or from the hard disk.

Introduction of DAEMON Tools

DAEMON Tools is a very good virtual optical drive software, it supports virtual some have anti-piracy technology of the CD-ROM, the biggest advantage is that you can download from the Internet cue, ISO, CCD,BWT and other mirror files virtual CD-ROM directly use, do not untie them to use. Moreover, it is not a mirror file can be extracted directly after the use of, such as encryption and anti-piracy discs.

The older version of Daemon tools does not support the CD-ROM image only supports loading the disc image, if you need to make a CD-ROM image, you need to download the new version of the Daemon Tools Pro version, here the author introduced the Daemon Tools Pro version of the 4.10 version.

Second, the installation of DAEMON tools

Run the installer, we need to click Next, agreed to install the agreement, and then will pop up a dialog box, ask to restart the computer after the installation, we click OK, will automatically restart the computer (remember to save the unsaved files first).

Figure 1 requires a reboot of the computer

After reboot, continue Setup, the next step will be able to install the daemon tools.
