Free virtual drive creator 2.1.1 software for windows

Virtual Drive Manager (VDM) is a tiny but very useful utility used to create virtual drives - maps of the contents of folders. Drive-mapping is similar to the DOS command SUBST, but VDM is much more than SUBST, it is very easy to use with a good GUI interface and it can restore all virtual drives automatically on windows restarting.

Virtual Drive Manager is included in AutoPlay Menu Builder, so if you have downloaded AutoPlay Menu Builder, you neednt download it again.

Virtual 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 Microsofts 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 todays 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.
Its 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 images
You 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.
