Stable use of "virtual optical drive" in the Winows XP

  
Windows XP as one of the best personal computer operating platforms to date, not only beautiful and beautiful interface, but also powerful and easy to operate. It can be seen from the introduction of the major newspapers and magazines, it is no less popular than Windows 98 at the time.

now use the virtual drive is more and more friends, the other marked with Windows XP SP1 patch, the compatibility of the game is indeed greatly improved. So now friends who use the virtual CD to play games have increased accordingly. At this point the problem
is coming, because most developers of virtual CD-ROM are developed under the FAT32 environment, and if you choose the NTFS partition format when installing Windows XP, then the crash or the system has an inexplicable failure. It is inevitable.

The reason is very simple, because Windows XP has been specifically optimized for NTFS, and the virtual optical drive because of its special mechanism, in the "device manager" by "spoofing" means that Windows mistakenly believes that the physical The optical drive, while in Windows XP, the system only designed the driver to restore the hardware, but there is no "restore/delete" the hardware itself, so the compatibility problem arises. Therefore, I recommend that those who use the virtual CD-ROM under XP please install the latest version and support XP virtual software, so compatibility issues will be properly resolved.

In addition, the virtual drive in Windows XP is also very particular about the number. As we all know, Windows XP uses "activate" technology
to prevent piracy, and requires activation again after the computer hardware changes the specified number of times, otherwise the system will be locked. Smart, you may have thought through the previous introduction that if you have more than 4 physical drives, you may trigger the XP activation check mechanism. Therefore, I suggest that if you want to use more than 4 virtual disks, or install dual systems, Under Windows 98, there will be no such awkward problem.
