Daemon Tools Pro 6 Advanced  Ver. 6.2 Review and Giveaway


 
CD, DVD and Blu-Ray discs are commonly used storage media. They may keep a wide variety of data- photo, music, software, etc. However, working with them is not always convenient. You have to insert the CD or DVD discs into the disc drive each time when you need them; they are much slower than the hard drives; and unfortunately they wear out very fast.

Although you can avoid these problems by copying the contents to the hard drive, but this is not suitable for every disc especially if it is copy protected. In this case you have to search for another way, i.e. to create a virtual CD or DVD drive and run the images from there. You need special emulation software to create and run virtual drives.
Daemon Tools Pro Advanced (short for Disk And Execution MONitor Tools) is a well-known and extremely popular program. It is a virtual drive emulator, i.e. a program with which you can mount a virtual DVD and run it.
 
There are five different versions of Daemon Tools- Lite, Standard, Ultra, Advanced and Net. The Lite version is intended for non-commercial use only and it is completely free. It allows you to create ISO and MDS images from discs (CD, DVD and Blu-Ray) and it can emulate up to four virtual drives; Standard is a paid version. It costs $ 34.99. You can emulate all types of discs and the number of supported virtual drives is increased to sixteen. Net version allows you to work with images over the network (it is pretty expensive; priced at $ 249.99). Ultra version is practically the same as the Advanced. It costs $ 44.99. The full product comparison list can be found on the official site. All the licenses have lifetime validity and you can purchase a license with lifetime updates.
 
DAEMON Tools Pro allows mounting various types of images, virtual hard disks, ZIP files and TrueCrypt containers and emulates DT, HDD, SCSI and IDE drives. Also, it allows creating VHD and TC files and includes all needed features to work with image files (allows, creating the new ones from files and discs, converts, edits, burns images and so on). And there are some tools for burning images, data and audio CDs and copying discs."
 
It is best product for optical media emulation.
All DAEMON Tools features are now available in one solution — DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced.
 
The program can be downloaded from the official site. It is just about 27 MB. The system requirements of the program are as follows: 1. Windows XP-Windows 10; 2.The processor with minimum 500 MHZ; 3. 256 MB of RAM; 4. 30 MB of free hard disk space for the program installation.
 
The main interface of the program is well arranged and easy to use. It consists of five main menu buttons- File, View, Tools, Actions and Help and Toolbar menu. The toolbar menu includes the main tools of the program, i.e. edit image, convert image, make disc image..etc.
On the left side; there is an information panel where you can view the image catalog, recently used images or physical and virtual optical drives. On the right side; there is a “Media Info” panel where you can find a variety of information about recently developed games and the links to Daemon Tools “Gamespace” site. The program allows you to add or remove some menu and toolbar elements.

Daemon Tools Pro Advanced supports a wide variety of image file formats. They are as follows:
 
MDX (i.e. Media Data Extended; the default format of the program. It is a relatively new format. It is a successor of the MDF format. The main advantage of this format is that it does not divide the image into two files MDS and MDF during the image creation but only one which contains all information for data, tracks, etc. Additionally, this format is capable of compressing a data image better);
 MDS (Media Descriptor File, it is commonly used for games and the creation of exact copies of the original disc).
 MDF (Media Disc Image File, it directly stores the disc image of the original disc)
 ISO (the standard and well known disc image format)
 CUE (Cue Sheet File, it is used for copying music tracks from CDs)
 CCD (Clone CD Disc Image, it is used for making copies of music and data CDs)
 APE (Monkey’s Audio Lossless File)
 FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
 ISZ (ISO Zipped, the image format of the program UltraIso)
 CDI (Disc Juggler CD Image), BST (Blind Write image file developed by VSO software)
 B6T (Blind Write 6 image information file)
 BWT (Blind Write 4 disc image file)
 NRG (i.e. the image file created by the program Nero)
 VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk, i.e. the image file developed by the American company VMvare and used in their software product VMvare Workstation)
 VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)
 TC (True Crypt Image)
Zip (archived file).

Hash Algorithms: a) RIMEMD: short for Race Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message digest, with 160 bit cryptographic hash function; b) Whirlpool: with value of 512 bits c) SHA-512- with hash value of 512 bits), Finally choose file system: FAT 32 or NTFS.
