DVDFAB Virtual Drive is a free program that does not require any cost.

Disk2vhd. - a small program that will make it very easy to make a VHD virtual disk from real. You can use this virtual disk in Hyper-V or Virtual PC. The utility was created by specialists in the field of systemic instruments, Mark Rusinovich and Bryce Khogsuell, Nirsoft programmers. This small tool can be a very useful tool when administering Windows systems. What do you need this utility? If you are an administrator of the aforementioned operating systems, then probably more than once came across problems that caused support in the support service ...

Sometimes the PC users are sharply raised how to create virtual hard Disk or CD-ROM. We study the procedure for performing these tasks in Windows 7.

Methods for creating a virtual disk, first of all depend on what option you wish to get in the end: the image of hard Media or CD / DVD. Usually, hard files The drives have the VHD extension, and ISO images are used to mount CD or DVD. In order to implement these operations, you can use the built-in Windows tools or contact third-party help.

Method 1: Daemon Tools Ultra

First of all, consider the creation of a virtual hard disk using a third-party program to work with drives.

  1. Run the application with administrator rights. Go to the tab "Instruments".
  2. A list of the list of available program tools opens. Choose item "Add VHD".
  3. A VHD add window opens, that is, creating a conditional hard medium. First of all, you need to register a directory where it will be placed this object. To do this, click on the button to the right of the field "Save as".
  4. Opens the save window. Log in it to the directory where you want to locate a virtual drive. In field "File name" You can change the name of the object. Default is "NewVHD". Next click "Save".
  5. As you can see, the selected path is now displayed in the field. "Save as" In the shell of the program Daemon Tools Ultra. Now you need to specify the size of the object. To do this, by switching the radio channel, set one of two types:
    • Fixed size;
    • Dynamic expansion.

    In the first case, the volume of the disk will be accurately given by you, and when the second item is selected as the object is filling, it will expand. The actual limit will be the size of the empty place in the area of \u200b\u200bthe HDD, where the VHD file will be placed. But even when choosing this option, still in the field "The size" It is required to install the initial volume. Just the number fits, and the unit unit is selected to the right of the field in the drop-down list. The following units of measurement are available:

    • megabytes (default);
    • gigabytes;
    • terabytes.

    Attentively, take care of the choice of the desired item, because when an error, the difference in size in comparison with the desired volume will be much more or less. Next, if necessary, you can change the name of the disk in the field "Tag". But this is not a prerequisite. Producing the actions described, to start the formation of the VHD file, press "Start".

  6. The process of forming a VHD file is performed. Its speaker is displayed using the indicator.
  7. After the procedure is completed, the following inscription will be displayed in the Daemon Tools Ultra shell: "The process of creating VHD has been successfully completed!". Press "Ready".
  8. Thus, virtual hard storage Using the Daemon Tools Ultra program created.

Method 2: disk2vhd

If Daemon Tools Ultra is a universal tool for working with media, then disk2vhd is a highly specialized utility intended for creating VHD and VHDX files, that is, virtual hard disks. In contrast to the previous way, applying this option Actions, you can not make an empty virtual media, but only create a cast of an existing disk.


Method 3: Windows Tools

The conditional hard medium can be formed with the help of standard system tools.

  1. Press "Start". Right mouse button ( PKM.) Click by name "A computer". Opens a list where you choose "Control".
  2. The system management window appears. In the left of its menu in the block "Storage devices" Go up by position "Disk management".
  3. The storage control tool is started. Click on position "Act" And select Option "Create virtual hDD» .
  4. The creation window opens, where you should specify, in which directory will be a disk. Press "Overview".
  5. Object viewing window opens. Move to the directory where you plan to host the drive file in VHD format. It is desirable that this directory is not located on the TOM section of the HDD on which the system is installed. Mandatory condition It is that the partition is not cleaned, otherwise performing the operation will not work. In field "File name" Be sure to specify the name under which you will identify this element. Then press "Save".
  6. Returns in the Virtual Disc Window. In field "Location" We see the way to the directories selected in the previous step. Next you need to assign the size of the object. It is done almost the same way as in the Daemon Tools Ultra program. First of all, select one of the formats:
    • Fixed size (installed by default);
    • Dynamic expansion.

    The values \u200b\u200bof these formats correspond to the values \u200b\u200bof the types of discs that we have previously considered in Daemon Tools.

    • megabytes (default);
    • gigabytes;
    • terabytes.

    After performing these manipulations, press Ok.

  7. Returning to the main section of the section management window, it can be observed in its lower area that a unallocated drive has now appeared. Press PKM. By his name. Typical template for this name "Disc №". In the menu that appears, select Option "Initialize disk".
  8. Opened disk initialization window. Here you just click Ok.
  9. After that, the list appears in the list of our item. "Online". Click PKM. on an empty place in the block "Not distributed". Choose "Create a simple volume ...".
  10. The welcome window is launched "MASTERS CREATING TOMA". Press "Further".
  11. The next window indicates the size of the volume. It is automatically calculated from the data that we laid when creating a virtual disk. So there is no need to change anything, just press "Further".
  12. But in the next window, you need to select the letter of the name of the volume from the drop-down list. It is important that on a volume computer that has the same designation has not been. After the letter is chosen, press "Further".
  13. In the next window, make changes not necessarily. But in the field "Tom Mark" You can replace the standard name. "New Tom" on any other, for example "Virtual disk". After that B. "Explorer" This element will be titled "Virtual disk k" Or with another letter you chose in the previous step. Press "Further".
  14. The window will then open with the summary data that you entered in the field "Masters". If you wish to change something, please click "Back" And make changes. If everything suits you, then click "Ready".
  15. After that, the created virtual drive is displayed in the Computer Management window.
  16. You can proceed with "Explorer" In chapter "A computer"where there is a list of all disks connected to the PC.
  17. But on some computer devices After rebooting in the specified section, this virtual disk may not appear. Then run the tool "Computer Management" and go to the department again "Disk management". Click in the menu "Act" And choose a position .
  18. The drive attachment window is started. Click "Overview…".
  19. File viewing tool appears. Go to the directory where you previously saved the VHD object. Highlight it and press "Open".
  20. The path to the selected object will be displayed in the field. "Location" window "Attach a virtual hard disk". Click Ok.
  21. The selected disk will be available again. Unfortunately, some computers have to do this operation After each restart.

Method 4: Ultraiso

Sometimes you need to create a not hard virtual disk, and the virtual CD drive and run the ISO image file. In contrast to the previous one, this task cannot be performed solely using the operating system tools. To solve it, it is necessary to use third-party software, for example.


We figured out that virtual disks can be of two types: hard (VHD) and CD / DVD images (ISO). If the first category of objects can be created both with third-party software and using the internal Windows tool, then with the ISO mounted task you can cope only by using third-party software products.

Very many users personal computers on the windows platform often asked questions - what is virtual disks and how to create virtual disk. To increase the awareness of our readers in these issues, in this article we will try to fully disclose the topic on specific examples.

Also in our article we will look at what is virtual hard drives and where they are used. After reading the material, our readers will be able to create virtual hard drives and Image DISK in ISO format, as well as without problems to mount them on the virtual device and record on DVD.

Virtual optical drive and its applications

The main purpose of the virtual drive is mounting images optical disks. To figure out in detail why it is needed, we will consider an example where the image disk in ISO format will be mounted on the Virtual DVD-ROM. For this example, we will use the Windows 10 operating system.

A pleasant moment for computers with the Windows 10 operating system will be the fact that a virtual DVD-ROM has already been installed. Therefore, Windows 10 holders do not have to use third-party programs For mounting images.

To mount the image optical disk In the virtual DVD-ROM, we will need an image itself. For example, we will use image from the operating room linux system Ubuntu.. You can download the image of this operating system on its official website http://www.ubuntu.com. In our example, we will use the image 64-bit Ubuntu version 15.10which has a size of 1.1 GB.

After downloading the image, you can proceed to directly mounted. To do this, click on the image file right-click to open the context menu.

Mounted "Virtual Disk" You can open and copy all its contents.

As can be seen from the example, we mounted an image from Ubuntu OS on a Virtual DVD drive. In fact, we were able to do almost what we are doing with the usual and optical disk when we insert it into a DVD-drive and open it, only in our version all the components are virtual.

Creating a Laser Disc Image

In the previous example, we looked at how to open Image Disk in a virtual DVD drive. Now we'll figure it out with the situation when you need to create an image of an optical disk. To create an image, we will need the Daemon Tools Lite program, which you want to download and install. It is also worth noting that in addition to creating various formats of images, Daemon Tools Lite. can also mock great amount Formats in your own Virtual DVD drive. After installing the program Daemon Tools Lite. In the conductor you can see a new drive named ""

This "" is just the drive of the program under consideration Daemon Tools Lite.. In this example, we will create the image of the original installation DVD with the Windows 10 operating system. To make from the installation DVD with a dozen image, insert it into a DVD drive. Now launch the utility and move on to the section " New image».

In the Utility window we find the button " Create an image from the disk"And press it. These actions will transfer us to the image creation window.

In this window, you can select the DVD drive from which the ISO image will be created, as well as select the location of it.

Also choose Image ISO format and confirm the creation by pressing the start button, which will start creating an image of a DVD disk from Windows 10.

After creation, we get an ISO image file with the name "j_ccsa_x86fre_en-ru_dv5.iso", which can be mounted or recorded on a regular blank and install with it new Windows.

From the example you can see how easy to write image for virtual DVD-ROM with Daemon Tools Lite.. In the same way, you can write images for all licensed windows disks, whether xp or vista. In addition, you can record images of games or software that are not launched without disk. In addition to the program Daemon Tools Lite. I would like to advise other popular utilities that can create and allow you to open image optical disks:

  • Alcohol 120%;
  • Gizmo Drive;
  • WinCdemu.

Especially relevant to use these utilities on the OS, where there are no built-in virtual DVD drives, for example, in OS XP. In addition to supporting XP, each of these programs, including Daemon Tools Lite.Can write ISO images on DVD Disk. Except support iSO formatThese utilities can mount other formats, including their own, they can be recorded on ordinary blanks.

Virtual hard drive

Virtual hard disk is often used in IT specialists, as it allows you to solve many tasks with backup, virtual machines and testing of various OS. Virtual hard drive is a container file that simulates the hard disk file structure.

Since such a Disk is a file, so it is usually stored on physical HDD or SSD. Starting with Windows 7, users have the opportunity to create and mount hard disk directly in the operating system.

Consider an example of creating a virtual hard disk using Windows 10 tools. To begin with, we go to the utility " Perform"Using the Win + R key combination and score in it such a command: diskmgmt.msc

This command will transfer us to the disk control panel.

To create a new Virtual HDD, you need to go to the menu " Action / Create Virtual Hard Drive"That will open the window to create such a Disk.

Starting with Windows 10, it has the opportunity to create a Disk from the format " VHDX" Unlike the "VHD" format, the format " VHDX»Can create containers having size up 64 terabyte. We will make our 32 GB virtual hard drive in a new format " VHDX", As well as put the switch to the dynamic mode of creation, in which our DISK will increase as it is filling.

After setting the parameters of our hard disk, press the OK button, which will allow you to write it to the specified folder on the screw. After creating at the output, we get a virtual hard disk named "Virtual Disk.vhdx". From the image, it is clear below that our Disk is automatically mounted, but it is still not visible in the system.

In order for the system to see our VHDX DISK, it must be initialized. You can do this with the help of clicking on the VHDX DISK right-click and select context menu item " Initialize disk».

In the window that appears, we do not change anything and press the OK button.

Now the simplest, choose for our disk file System and letter. To do this, we turn to it and in the context menu, choose the item " Create a simple volume».

After that, the wizard will be launched in which you want to assign a disk letter and select the file system. After completing the wizard, the virtual hard disk will appear in the conductor.

From the example, it can be seen that it is very simple to create Virtual HDD tools, so we hope that you will not have a more question - how to create a virtual hard disk. I also want to note that with the VHDX discored disk you can make such operations as:

  • Encrypt it using BitLocker;
  • Establish an additional OS on it;
  • Move and open it on another computer;
  • Connect it to the virtual machine.

With computers based on operating windows systems XP, which remains quite popular enough, no support for VHD discs. But do not get upset, because the utility reviewed earlier Daemon Tools Lite. there is support for VHD discs and she fully compatible with Windows XP.

Using a VHD disk in a virtual machine

Create using the VirtualBox program virtual Machine On the basis of the Windows XP operating system. At the stage of creating Virtual Machine for XP, it will be prompted to create or attach a virtual hard DISK to be used for windows installations XP on him.

At this stage, we can attach the VHD Disk, which we will create with using windows 10. Therefore, we will try to attach our VHD container for 30 GB, which we have done in the top ten. After creating virtuals, you can view the attached VHD Disk in its settings.

If there is little place in the Virtual Machine on XP, you can always attach new VHD Virtual Hard Drive. Besides, you can connect to Virtual Machine for XP containers with different file data. In the same way, you can use Virtual Machine from other software products. For example, VHD containers can be installed in VMware Workstation products.

Outcome

From the considered material it is clear that the use of virtual drives and hard drives is much better helps to solve many tasks, especially with their creation even the novice user of the PC. We hope that our material will help our readers better deal with the question - how to create a virtual disk and how to use it for work.

Video on the topic

Good day to everyone!

Ordinary CD / DVDs, no matter how sad, the year from year to lose their popularity (before they were sold at every corner at all). Still development network technologies Doing your business ...

Meanwhile, there is another side of the medal - so-called so-called great popularity virtual disks - A separate file (s), made based on the exact copy of the physical CD / DVD. They are also called images. Most Popular Image Formats: ISO, BIN, MDS / MDF, NRG, CCD. By the way, now many file files are transmitted precisely in images (for example, even to create blood flash drive With Windows - you need to download the installation image with the system from the Microsoft website).

Just so such an image does not open, you need (as you guessed) special virtual drive (or drive. They are also called CD / DVD emulators).

In general, I decided to build this article in the form of questions-answers to work with images (koi there is always a lot). Along the way I will present the programs that best copes with the task. I think it will be easier to submit the founders for an inexperienced reader. And so, proceed ...

Most popular questions about working with virtual disks

❶. How to create a virtual disk / image of ISO and others.

First of all, to start work, I recommend installing one program - Daemon Tools. (Lite version, it is free and its capabilities for creating and emulating images more than enough). And in general, in my opinion, she is one of the best (and most popular, by the way) programs to work with disk images. I recommend it unambiguously to install and familiarize.

Daemon Tools (Lite)

This program allows you to mount almost all types of images, as well as emulates simultaneously work up to 4 drives. In addition, the program allows you to record ready-made images on physical disks, convert from one format to another, create protected images and much more (by the way, part of the functions are paid, unfortunately). Pretty well, the program has been organized by the storage of images: you can always find disc From your collection.

And so, let us say there are several CDs with music, games that are often used, and you are simply tired of inserting them into the drive (and with time discs deteriorate, scratching, when inserted into the drive noise). Therefore, logical, making the images of these disks once - you can easily use them without noise.

1) First you need to insert a CD into a real physical drive.

3) After you need to specify the drive with the disk, specify the folder where the image will be saved, and the image format (in your example I chose ISO). To start copying, press the "Start" button.

5) When the image is ready - you will see a message that the operation is successfully completed, as in the screenshot below.

In general, all. Now you can use this way (only you must create a virtual drive, just below).

❷. How to create a Virtual Drive / CD / DVD-ROM Emulator

We use all the same Daemon Tools ...

You must first start the program and click "Add Drive" (in the left program menu).

At the bottom of the window, a new drive should appear: in my case, under the letter "F: (empty)".

Daemon Tools Lite - a new drive appeared (F :)!

❸. How to open images: ISO, MDF, NRG, etc. and launch the application from them

After the Virtual Drive in Daemon Tools was created - you can start the opening and reading of images in it. In general, Daemon Tools opens almost any images: ISO, BIN, MDF, NRG (even archives, 7Z, RAR, ZIP format, etc.).

At the bottom of the window - right-click on the virtual drive (which we created in the previous step). See Screenshot below.

Daemon Tools Lite - First click the left mouse button on the drive

If a automatic start CD / DVD disks are disabled (and nothing appears on the screen), go to "My Computer / This Computer": There should be a virtual one among the drives, with a disk (that is, the way we discovered.

If you have a question about whether to allow this application to make changes - answer the affirmative (at least for familiar disks ...).

❹. How to burn an image on a physical CD / DVD disk

Daemon Tools, of course, can record images on physical disks, but this feature is available only in paid version programs. Therefore, it is better to use analogues, especially since there is enough free versions in this segment.

Why not Nero? Because Nero package paid, weighs a few gigabytes, very "brake" and bad. Hardly many will use at least the tenth of its functions (not to mention the fact that most you just need to record the disk and everything ...).

Cdburnerxp

CdBurnerXP - free program To record CD and DVDs, including Blu-ray and HD-DVD. Also, the program works great with ISO images, allowing not only to create them, but from writing on physical disks. The program supports tens of languages \u200b\u200b(including Russian). Works in Windows XP / 7/8 / 9/10.

Main features:

  1. to record data (files, documents, pictures, etc.) on any types of discs;
  2. recording of audio parts;
  3. creating and recording ISO images;
  4. creating bootable (installation) disks;
  5. bIN / NRG image converter → ISO;
  6. the ability to print covers.

After starting the program, click "Record ISO image to disk" (See Screen below).

Then you specify an ISO image for recording, a physical drive, the recording speed (highlighted yellow on the screen below - by the way, do not put the highest speed, errors are possible) and click "Record Disk". In general, it's all - in 10-15 minutes. Your disk will be recorded!

Record Settings // CDBURNERXP

❺. What other programs can be used to work and read images

Alcohol 120%

Alcohol 120% - excellent and very powerful program To work with images. Does everything: creates images, mounts them into virtual drives, writes, creates the library on your PC (for them quick search and reading).

Although the program is paid, but there is a trial free period of 15 days (and there free version, with trimmed possibilities). In general, I recommend to get acquainted!

Main features:

  1. creating up to 31 virtual drives;
  2. creating disk images (support for formats: MDF / MDS, CCD, BIN / CUE, ISO, CDI, etc.);
  3. recording from disk images: CD, DVD and Blu-Ray;
  4. erase of discs: CD-RW, DVD-RW and BD-RE;
  5. search and create a library from file-hard disk files;
  6. the presence of an audio converter to work with audio parts.

Ultra Iso.

Official website: https://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/

A very powerful program for working with ISO images. Allows you to create them from real disks, write, emulate in a virtual drive, and, most importantly - edit on the fly. Those. You can open an ISO image, remove from it unnecessary file. (or add) and save the image. Actually, this is done very quickly!

In addition, the program will help create a bootable (installation) disk, USB flash drive. You can also try to squeeze current ISO images, etc. In general, everyone who works with ISO - I recommend that you have to have it at your PC ...
