VirtualDrive Overview

VirtualDrive copies a CD or unprotected DVD as a compressed image which runs in place of the original disc in any one of up to 23 “virtual drives.”

Archive your virtual CDs in a searchable library, transport them on a laptop computer, or share them over a network. Virtual CDs play directly on the hard drive, saving wear and tear on your CD-ROM drive and extending the battery life of laptop computers. They have access speeds nearly 200 times faster than CD-ROM counterparts, greatly improving the performance of PC games, photo CDs, and disc-based applications.

Run as many virtual CDs simultaneously as you have available virtual drive letters, moving from one PC game or application to another without having to swap out CDs or wait for discs to spin up.
