CNET Editors' review
For some computer owners, the need to use CDs and DVDs in the age of downloadable software is an annoyance bordering on insult. CDSpace is one of many programs that allows virtual copies of CDs and DVDs (although not copy-protected movie DVDs) to be transferred to a hard drive, and used there just as though the disc was still in the drive. However, we found it considerably less flexible than other rival disc-emulation programs. It creates disc "images" in its own format, LCD, and reads another popular format called ISO, but does not recognize other common formats such as Nero (NRG) or Easy CD Creator (CIF). The software provides few options for managing or organizing disc images once they have been created, offering only the ability to scan hard disks for image files. Overall, CDSpace trails rival applications on several fronts, and users can easily get the same functionality from other freeware applications.Publisher's Description
From Space International:
This emulator allows you to run almost any CD/DVD-ROM (not CSS-copy protected DVD)applications from your hard drive or network server. In your hard drive space, you can establish and access up to 23 different virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives. It works by creating image files of the CD/DVD-ROM 's content on your hard drive. It can also run programs much faster than they would if they were running off a conventional CD/DVD-ROM drive.

"WARNING DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!"
Version: CDSpace 5.1
Cons
May contain viruses and if you cancel a virural drive, it leaves a pest, a empty drive which you have to go through my computer and take some time uninstalling any drivers this program installed without saying, otherwise you have a virtual drive taking up hard drive space with nothing on it.
This piece of online trash nearly crashed my computer. Anyways you should not download this!! Even if it did work(which it didn't!!!) it slows your computer down!! because it most likely contains numerous viruses and ad-ware.
