189222 2004-05-15 08:25:00 Does virtual CD software work better than mapped drives? Also, since I have several mapped drives wouldn't this make less drive letters available? One mentions 31 drives. How's this possible with only 26 letters and at least 3 are used (floppy drive, hard drive, optical drive, mapped drives and extra hard drive partitions)? Novell makes a CD array available as sub directories of a drive letter therefore almost unlimited cd-roms available - Is there anything available that will emulate this but using Windows NT (2000/XP/2003) virtual CD emulation (using hard drive storage instead of many CD-ROMS installed although I would be interested to know of the CD-ROM array also)?

189223 2004-05-15 15:17:00 Yes I give Alcohol 120% a high rating too. While the windows one can probably only mount iso files, Alcohol can do just about everything including emulating the copy protection in games. Also mounts your SVCD movies you've downloaded, so you can preview them before deciding if they are good enough for cd. kiki (762)
189224 2004-05-15 15:19:00 You can go into computer management and instead of assigning partitions a drive letter, you can mount them under a NTFS directory. You might be able to do the same for network drives? kiki (762)
