Virtual CloneDrive allows you to run computer programs that run on CD/DVD only from a hard drive. The user no longer needs to store optical disks and use physical CD/DVD drives.
Virtual CloneDrive works like the virtual drives of DAEMON Tools or Alcohol 120%, but it is free and only mounts images: it creates up to 15 virtual drives for image formats such as .ccd, .img, .dvd, .iso, .bin and .udf.
The main benefit of using Virtual CloneDrive is its ability to conveniently run CD/DVD-only programs directly from a hard drive.
