Play virtual drive in Windows XP operating system to be cautious

  

Windows XP is one of the best PC operating platforms to date, not only beautiful and beautiful, but also powerful and easy to operate. It can be seen from the introduction of the major newspapers and magazines, it is no less popular than Windows 98 at the time.

Nowadays, there are more and more friends using virtual drives. In addition, with the SP1 patch on Windows XP, the compatibility of the game has been greatly improved. So now friends who use the virtual CD to play games have increased accordingly. At this point the problem is coming, because most developers of virtual CD-ROM are developed under the FAT32 environment, and if you choose NTFS partition format when installing Windows XP, then the crash or system inexplicable failure is inevitable. .

The reason is very simple, because Windows XP has been specially optimized for NTFS, and the virtual optical drive has made Windows wrong by "deception" in the "Device Manager" due to its special mechanism. I think that the physical drive is added. In Windows XP, the system only designed the driver to restore the hardware, but there is no "restore/delete" hardware function, so the compatibility problem arises. Therefore, I recommend that those who use the virtual CD-ROM under XP please install the latest version and support XP virtual software, so compatibility issues will be properly resolved.

In addition, the number of virtual CD-ROM drives under Windows XP is also very particular. As we all know, Windows XP uses the "Activate" technology to prevent piracy, and requires activation again after the computer hardware changes the specified number of times, otherwise the system will be locked. Smart, you may have thought through the previous introduction that if you have more than 4 physical drives, you may trigger the XP activation check mechanism. Therefore, I suggest that if you want to use more than 4 virtual disks, or install dual systems, Under Windows 98, there will be no such awkward problem.
