Working with Nero ImageDrive
Page 8
4.2 Sample applications
Nero ImageDrive is a virtual drive that can load images. An image or image file is a virtual
image of a CD or DVD. Nero ImageDrive allows you to treat images like discs and open files
or run programs from the virtual drive (which you can find in Microsoft Windows Explorer™).
Nero ImageDrive is ideal for applications such as:

Loading the image of a game CD in Nero ImageDrive to eliminate the annoying spin-up
noise when the game is launched.

Loading frequently used discs, such as a telephone book CD, as an image in Nero
ImageDrive so that the CD does not have to be inserted each time you want to use it.

Creating an image of a video or slide show that you are creating with Nero Vision, for
example, so that you can test it with Nero ImageDrive first.
You can create images with Nero Burning ROM (from data on the computer or as a copy of
an inserted disc) as well as with applications such as Nero Vision or Nero Recode.
Nero Burning ROM is a full-featured burning program. Nero Burning ROM is part of the
Nero 7 Suite and is automatically installed with Nero 7. For more information, see the Nero
Burning ROM manual.
Nero Vision is a program for capturing, creating, and burning videos. Nero Recode is a
video converter. Both applications are part of the Nero 7 Suite and are automatically
installed with Nero 7. For more information, see the Nero Vision and Nero Recode
manuals.
