    Iso,virtual drives and image-files...Help ???
    « on: February 18, 2010, 12:18:49 PM »
    What are Iso-files,virtual drives and image-files ???
    I believe they are all "connected" in some way ???
    How does it work,and if you wish to explain please keep it so I can understand it.
    I hear people talking about files that are not there but once you do something to them they suddenly apear,how is that possible ???
    I`ve heard about: alcohol120%.Why do these files exist?
    I ask this because I`ve run in to them a few times and have tried to get some answers but I`m still no step further.


                                 All the best:Eric.

    Try starting on below link, which gives a basic explanation what they are.

      You can create an iso image of windows os. Iso means it creates a image of a prgram.
