VIRTUAL CD PARTITION
The DL3™ drive supports a feature called “Virtual CDs” or VCD. This allows the
DL3™ drive to emulate a physical CD-ROM drive using ISO images. A VCD is a
drive partition, which is recognized by your operating system as a physical Read
Only drive with its own unique drive letter. A VCD is “Read Only” and can only
be overwritten with the VCD Utility. VCDs are commonly used to store virtual
machines, documentation and executable programs.
Step 1: Download the VCD Uploader utility. Click here.
Step 2: While in the Administrator Setup menu on the DL3™ drive, go to the
“SYSTEM” and then “VIRTUAL CD.” Then choose “ENABLE”. Once this feature is
enabled, exit out of the Administrator Setup menu and choose “CONNECT” on
the DL3™ drive.
Step 3: On a Windows 7/Vista/XP computer, extract the DL3VCDUploader.zip
file and open the extracted exe file to run the VCD Uploader utility.
