For all the time using the computer, everyone at least once, but there was a need to work with files in ISO format and the like. These files are images that contain other data. The fact is that only in the last, tenth version of the Windows operating system, it became possible to interact with them at the system level, before that I had to use special programs.
This article will discuss one such program - Daemon Tools. What kind of program it is and what range of possibilities it provides for the user - this and much more will be discussed later in the text.
Image creation
As noted above, you can easily work with Daemon Tools with disk images, so now we will list the main application tools in stages, and start with the ability to create images.
This feature is used to create an image from disk. How it works? You insert a CD or DVD into the drive, and then in the program, using the appropriate tool, start the process of creating an image in which the disk files will be located. Some users may have a reasonable question: "Why is this needed?". Everything is simple. For example, you have a game installer on the disk, if you create its image, then in the future you will not have to constantly insert the disk into the computer in order to perform the installation. So with multimedia and other files.
Conversion
The program for images Daemon Tools, in addition to the ability to create images, can also convert the image format to another. Most users know only one - ISO, but few know that there are a lot of them, unfortunately, the program cannot work with everyone, but it can instantly convert to MDX or MDS format.
Recording Images
Earlier we said that using Daemon Tools you can easily create a disk image, but you can also burn the image that is on your computer to an empty disk inserted into the drive. This works the same way as with creation, only in the opposite direction. For example, you can download the image of the game from the Internet, and in the future burn it to disk to give to a friend or put it aside just in case - backup, so to speak.
Burn files to disk
Many are already beginning to understand what kind of program this is - Daemon Tools and what it can do. But you can’t miss her option of writing data from a computer to an empty disk. Many may think that we are repeating ourselves, because earlier we talked about such a function, but no. The fact is that before that we talked about writing images to disk, and now we are talking directly about files. Music, videos, photos, films - all this and much more can be written to a blank disc. In this case, it is comparable to a flash drive.
Burn Audio CD
Few people have music players that support only the Audio CD format, but if any, Daemon Tools will help you burn any audio file to disk so that the player can play it later.
Disk Cleanup
Some discs, or more precisely, with the RW prefix, can be overwritten, unlike those with the R. Of course, this option is also in the operating system itself, but if you work in Daemon Tools, then it will be very convenient to use it.
Copy
What kind of program is Daemon Tools if it couldn’t create a copy of disks by transferring files from one to another. Of course, it is worth noting here that this option is only available if you have two drive drives.
Create Virtual Disks
This option is the most popular. Having any image on your computer, whether it’s a game, movie or music, you can use the program to create a virtual disk that will be displayed in Explorer and on which you can enter and view data.
Conclusion
Perhaps that's all, now you know what kind of program Daemon Tools is and what functions it has. Of course, not all were listed in the article, but only the most basic ones, but even proceeding from them, you can easily decide for yourself whether you need this program or not.
