Actions menu

Actions menu includes the items for mounting/unmounting image files, adding and removing virtual devices, changing their properties and changing application preferences.

  • Mount — Select this menu item or press Ctrl+M to mount an image file to the selected virtual device installed in the system. The behavior depends on selected item in main window. If you have selected an image in Image Catalog then the dialog opens where you have to select the mounted drive. If you have selected the Virtual drive on the same name panel, the dialog opens to select a mounted image.
  • Unmount — Use this command or press Ctrl+Alt+M to unmount an image file from the selected virtual drive.
  • Unmount all — This command unmounts all virtual drives.
  • Eject/Load — These two commands emulate opening (Eject) and closing (Load) of CD/DVD-drive tray. These commands are used for the virtual devices with mounted image files. Before executing any of these commands, make sure you have selected the virtual device icon in the Virtual Devices panel. To execute the Eject/Load commands press Ctrl+J (Ctrl+L) or select the corresponding menu items.
  • Add DT/SCSI/IDE Virtual Drive — This command adds a new DT, SCSI or IDE virtual device.
    Note: A virtual IDE adapter can be added only in the DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced version.
  • Remove Virtual Drive — This command removes a virtual device from the system.
  • Refresh — If your actions towards virtual drives or image files do not lead to the corresponding visual changes in the program's interface, it is recommended to use a Refresh command.
