Virtual CD/Virtual Drive programs

[Shrykull]

Anyone use one of these heavily? Need lots of hard drive space if your going to be putting them in whole on your hard drive, do they have any 480GB hard drives yet? I know they have 240GB ones, I have a 120GB hard drive, and are companies making thier games harder to put on a hard drive like this lest they be shared on Kazaa, etc?

I've used one, but found little need for it.

The largest hard drives are 250GB SATA drives.

Game companies are use increasingly sophisticated methods to copy-protect games.

er, what do you mean by that, could you clarify, what was hard to understand about what I typed?

You bounce from subject to subject without any organization, and some of the topics have little or nothing to do with the post topic. It makes it difficult to ascertain what you're trying to say.

For virtual CDs, I recommend Daemon-Tools. You need to have an iso though and it's read-only, but it does defeat most copy protections.

Daemon Tools can be unstable, though.

Are there any advantages to using dd under linux and using the resulting iso under windows, as opposed to using windows software to do so?

Never had any problems with them. But I'm using WinXP so I don't know if that applies to all OSes.

XP Pro here.
