Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually. Image files generated with CloneDVD or CloneCD can be mounted onto a virtual drive from your hard-disk or from a network drive and used in the same manner as inserting them into a normal CD/DVD drive.

    This was always a great virtual drive but it has gotten even better with context menus and the simple systray icon access even though I make use of neither.

    Virtual CloneDrive shouldn't be confused with some of the other programs out there. It's purpose is for mounting images of discs but it focuses on CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, and BluRays. There is no emulation for games or anything like that. Virtual CloneDrive also doesn't make use of SPTD as does Daemon Tools & Alcohol which can be problematic.

    Virtual CloneDrive simply does exactly as the product description says.

    Best emulator ever seen, install in seconds,no need to reboot, fast and free, much better than Alcohol and others. Working correct with any CD image.

    Good program.

    BUT Daemon-tools is supported BY windows 7 since long time.
    Check their homepage.

    DaemonTools does not load into Windows 7 in any way b/c of the SPTD drivers that it makes use of.

    Although I agree with you about DT having the same and more functions, VCD is the only solution I can use on Win7 for the moment.

    In addition, DT free versions come bundled with a search program that is at best, a nuisance, and although you can disable installation of said addon, it comes enabled by default.

    VCD includes no addons and is 100% free - thus, for all the reasons noted above this software deserves a much better rating than you are giving it,

    Daemon tools performs the same function and is compatible with more formats.
