Today, users of modern operating systems have the ability to create copies of disks by storing them on a local disk. Why is this done? Firstly, the surface of the CD / DVD disc remains intact, and there are no scratches, and secondly, reading from a local disc is faster than from a floppy disc. To run a virtual disk, you need to use special programs.
Necessary
Alcohol 120% software
Instructions
Step 1
To open and run a virtual disk, you will need not only a program that can read virtual disks, but also the files themselves that contain an image of such a disk. Where do these discs come from? They are created using some programs, the above program is suitable for both creating and reading this type of disc. You can create a disk image yourself or copy it from any source of information (Internet, friend's computer, etc.).
Step 2
Download the Alcohol 120% program. This program is not free, so you will have to pay for the work of the developers of this program. After activating this program, you can start configuring the basic parameters. You need to create a virtual disk. This program has the ability to create a large number of virtual disks. Any free drive letter in the system can become a virtual drive, for example, the letter Z, X, Y, M, N, etc.
Step 3
In the main window of the program, click the link "Virtual disk". In the window that opens, set the number of virtual disks, for a start you will need only one disk, so set the value to “1” in the “Number of virtual disks” field, then click the “OK” button. After a while, in the "My Computer" folder, you will find a new CD / DVD-disk appears, this is a new virtual disk.
Step 4
After creating the virtual disk, you need to open the file that belongs to the disk image. Click the top menu "File", select "Open". In the window that opens, find the disk image file and click the "OK" button.
Step 5
A line with the name of the disk image you added will appear in the main window of the program. Right-click on the image, select Mount to Device, then select the newly created virtual disk. After a few seconds, the autorun disk window will appear on the screen, which means that the disk image has been mounted successfully.
