Virtual CDROM drives
@anyone,
This is an unsupported Microsoft program to create virtual CD-ROM drives from hard drive space. http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpvirtualcd.html This program can run ISO files, so I use WinISO to copy a CD to iso file. I have 8 interactive CD's that are required to follow an training course and this virtual drive works nicely :) I always have to eject the previous iso and mount the next one to continue the course. Has anyone used this or other virtual cdrom's. I would like to just click on a short cut and a dos batch file would handle the ejection and mounting. In other words a commandline virtual crdom product. Thanks for your input :) BTW, this product also works for Windows 2000. -BP |
Daemon Tools is free for non-commercial purposes and you can moun/umount with a command line (you can for instance have a shortcut in your desktop to a batch where you mount the CD, execute something and then umount it).

Daemon tool supports that :

@GFR and Dialhot,
Perfect solution :ok: Thanks Guys :) -BP |
@Dialhot or GFR,
Here's my test batch file: @echo on "C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -unmount 3 "C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -mount 3,"C:\scrabble2.iso" "D:\Autorun.exe" I'm using -unmount <n>, where n=??? :?: The doc says <n> is the DVD-ROM drive number. I tried first 0, and that didn't work. Then I tried 3 and now it works. It's unclear what <n> refers to. :) -BP |
I'm not sure if this is it but at least it works in my PC.
Right-click Daemon Tools systray icon. Move up on the list to the «Virtual CD/DVD-ROM» and click it. On my setup I see «Device 0: [L:]». This means my L: drive is also CD-Rom 0. Don't know if it'll work on your setup... |
