Computer systems, software and methods for emulating a non-volatile removable media device using material on a mass storage device

摘要: Computer systems, software and methods that allow information from a nonvolatile removable media device, such as CD-ROM or DVD, the like, to be placed on mass storage device. Once non-volatile device is computer operating system can then use in same manner it would normally CD-ROM, other inserted its reader. In accordance with present invention, are operative create boot engineering extension record (BEER) hard disk drive. The configured have SETMAX pointer points user area of drive service PARTIES part host protected area. Data derived stored area, which will used an emulated An access 24 so data emulates available user. also provides for applications system.
