I'm looking for a program that will give me a Virtual CDROM drive. Any good programs out there? I have searched but I was thinking I would what you guys are using.

Alcohol 120% and DaemonTools are, as far as I know, two of the most popular ones. I've used DTools myself. Keep in mind some DRM models like the older SecuROM supposedly liked to complain if they detected virtual drives (that's how pirating is done), but I've never had a game complain about mine. DTools has a paid and a free version, and I'm not sure about Alcohol.

I use the latest ver of Alcohol 120% myself.
The free ver of Daemon Tools is probably pretty good.

Kinda funny you mentioned that. The reason i have Alcohol is because some versions of SecuROM do not like my physical DVD-ROM so I had to copy the image over and launch them through the virtual drive.

Daemon Tools is what I use. The free version will let you add up to four drives and you can add/remove them and mount/unmount images from the systray. I can add virtual drives using Win7 Ultimate or Roxio 2010 also but DT is by far the easiest to use.

MagicDisc works wonders for all my virtual drive needs. Also it's free. Or at least it was, not sure if it still is.

I use an old version of Alcohol 120%. I pretty much just have one virtual drive setup, but i believe it allows for as many as you could want. I haven't any complaints just rightclick the VD in my computer and mount/unmount image.
