My recommendation is to download VirtualDrive Pro trial and give it a test drive. petereview It is absolutely the greatest. “Since I installed VirtualDrive, I haven’t had to worry about the grandkids closing the CD drive on a misaligned CD. I don’t have to worry about them scratching the real CD. They just click on the ‘VirtualDrive Manager’ and click on the game they want to play, then click on ‘Insert’ and they are playing their game. It is absolutely the greatest.
