Answer 1

If you have a disc image you can use a cd/dvd drive emulater to load it right from your hardrive....this way you don't need to actually burn the cd/dvd to an actual disc. Programs like alcohol120% or daemon tools will just create an extra cd drive on your system but instead of an actual hardware drive it's just run from the software

very helpful if you download a lot of software and don't care to burn it all to disc or if you don't have a dvd burner you can still load up downloaded dvd images
