To create virtual disk images, as a rule, only a few popular utilities are used. Not everyone knows that most of the operations with DVD-drives can be done powerfully with the help of Nero.
Necessary
Nero Multimedia Suite
Instructions
Step 1
Install Nero Multimedia Suite 10. Restart your computer to complete the installation of the program. Start the Nero Express start screen. Insert the DVD drive you want to create the image from into your computer.
Step 2
Open the Rip DVD menu in the Nero program window. Wait for the new dialog menu to appear. Select Copy Options.
Step 3
Find the Source field. Click the arrow and point to the DVD drive where the source disc is located. Open the "Reading Options" menu by clicking the left mouse button on the tab of the same name.
Step 4
Expand the list of options available in the Select Profile column. If you do not plan to create an image of the installation disc, select the Data DVD field. Check the box next to "Read with error correction". This will allow the program to automatically repeat scanning for specific sectors. This function is especially useful when working with scratched discs.
Step 5
Disable the Ignore Read Errors option. Using this mode may result in a defective image recording. Open the Copy menu and make sure there are two disc readers listed. The second equipment should be a virtual drive called Image Recorder.
Step 6
Click the Ok button. In the new dialog menu, click Copy. Wait while the program performs the necessary operations and creates a new virtual disk.
Step 7
Install a program to work with ISO files. At home, use the free utilities Daemon Tools Lite or Ultra ISO. Open the contents of the created image using the selected program. Make sure it works.
