Device

Mount Image: This option enables users to mount an image file that is stored in the hard disk to a virtual CD/DVD-ROM. This mounting action is just as the same as loading a CD or DVD into a real CD/DVD-ROM drive.

Unmount Image: This option enables users to unmount an image file from the virtual CD/DVD-ROM. This unmounting action is considered as unloading the CD/DVD from the real CD/DVD-ROM drive.

Load: This option reloads the image file into a virtual CD/DVD-ROM, when the image file is ejected. This option is different from mount function, as the Load option works only if the image file remains in the virtual CD/DVD-ROM. NOTE: When the image file is mounted, the image file is automatically loaded into the virtual CD-ROM; therefore, users do not need to do the act of load.

Eject: This option ejects an image file from a virtual CD/DVD-ROM. However, the image file will remain in the drive. Eject function is not same as the unmout function. The unmount option does the same thing as take out the CD/DVD from a real CD/DVD-ROM drive.
