Creating a Virtual Clone Drive

Creating a Virtual Clone Drive


Virtual Clone drive works and acts like a real CD/DVD drive, but it exists only in virtual form. The image files created using Virtual Clonedrive or Softpedia can be easily attached to a virtual machine from your hard disk or from a virtual networked drive and utilized in the same way as inserting them to a regular CD/ DVD drive. Virtual Clone drive has a single CD/ DVD drive that is always attached to a computer. There are various other variants of the Virtual Clone drive, which are better than the normal Virtual Clone drive:

o ISOs - Virtual Clone drives can work with several image formats. To use any of these formats, you will need to create an ISO and copy all the image formats to the single ISO. camera an ninh giá bao nhiêu can then be attached to a virtual machine, or a CD-ROM drive. There is no difference between the ISOs that are created by Virtual Clone drive and those created by normal CD-ROM drives.

o CD-R - When creating the ISOs, make sure that you create a "double-click" CD-R and not a "double-emp" CD. A double-click CD-R is a CD that has been opened twice. This is not a real CD, so cannot be read by most drivers. It can only be read by the software and if you have embedded sound or video with your CD-R, the software may not be able to read the embedded data.

o Virtual NAS - Uses a virtual disk drive is also called virtual NAS. You can use a virtual NAS to create a number of single disk NAS devices. Virtual NAS devices will have their own operating systems, drivers and booting capabilities. Virtual NAS appliances are useful for visualizing data backup, applications and other functions that require isolation from other systems.

o VDI - You can also use a VDI (virtual disc) to create a single virtual disk drive that can be attached to an existing physical optical disc drive. This is useful for making a CD-ROM that can be attached to an existing machine. You can even put VDI in place of a physical disk in order to make a CD-RW (read/write) appliances. The advantage of using VDI over a hard disk is that it is much cheaper than a hard disk drive. It also supports multiple data streams, which means that you can attach various CDs to a VDI appliance and it can read and write data from its attached optical disc drive as well.

o CD-R and DVD-R - If you want to use a single optical disc drive for multiple data applications and regular home use, then the best option for you is to use a virtual clonedrive. There are many easy-to-use software packages for creating a virtual clonedrive using your existing CD or DVD-R. You can also use your existing hard drive to create a VDI. If you have a good memory, a high-speed internet connection and a good operating system, then you can easily use a virtual clone drive to back up your data.
