Increase your speed and reduce CD/DVD access time!

Are you tired of scratching or losing your favorite PC games and music CDs? Is it annoying to swap discs in and out of your drive and wait for them to load?

VirtualDrive 9 emulates a computer’s physical CD-DVD-ROM drive, running disc-based applications as “virtual CDs” directly on the hard drive. A virtual CD has response times up to 200 times faster than a physical CD in a CD-ROM drive, and VirtualDrive 9’s included RapidCache technology further enhances performance by eliminating CD load time. VirtualDrive 9 creates up to 23 virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and an unlimited number of CD/DVD-ROMs.

VirtualDrive does two basic things:

1. It can copy an entire CD/DVD into a single, compressed disk-image file that resides on your hard drive
2. It contains a driver that fools Windows into treating the disk-image file as if it were a physical CD/DVD running in a physical CD/DVD drive.

VirtualDrive lets you create up to 23 virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and an unlimited number of CD/DVDs. Since you have 23 CD/DVD-ROM drives on your computer instead of just one, you can run more than one CD/DVD-ROM simultaneously.

So, after you have installed VirtualDrive, all you have to do is insert the CD/DVD-ROM disc that you want to copy into your CD/DVD-ROM drive and click 'Build' on the VirtualDrive interface. In minutes, the virtual image of the CD/DVD-ROM, called a 'VCD', will appear. To run it, just insert it into one of your virtual drives.
