Publisher's description of Circle Virtual CD
Circle Virtual CD creates a virtual CD-ROM drive on your Windows PC. This allows you to make images of your favorite CD-ROMs and use them without inserting a CD into a CD-ROM drive. Circle Virtual CD improves the speed at which you access data and stops you from having to switch disks in and out of your CD-ROM drive. Use the program to easily access your favorite games, music, or software programs. Since Circle Virtual CD uses CircleScan, nearly any CD can be imaged.

Version: Circle Virtual CD 1.02
"You don't need a pretty face to get the job done"
Pros: It works (no crashes like other people reported) I'm running Windows XP MCE.
It works by copying the CD to a .hvc format (not .iso) and creating a virtual cd drive. then it mounts the .hvc file to the drive and it runs like a regular cd drive (note: the auto run part of the disc may not work)
Cons: it doesn't look great - but hey it's free!
some other people complained about the virtual drive showing up as "Z" drive, this is do the fact that windows has default letters for drives (A for floppys & C for the main hard drive) but most letters are from the beginning of the alphabet that is why Z is used (to avoid a conflict)

"Good for copying images, but makes system crash!"
Pros: You are able to copy cds that are copyrighted, but other than that nothing too special about this.
Cons: If you try to insert the image you copied, your system will crash automatically. Also you can't do anything about the drive letter "Z." The GUI (Graphics User Interface) is very bad and very boring.
