MagicDisc installs virtual drive without rebooting Windows

I hate restarting my computer. It is not because of the time wasted or the interruption; it’s because of inconvenience. With 30 to 40 browser tabs opened, articles half written, a download in progress, and dozens of other things that I’m juggling around, I can’t afford to restart my computer. It’s too much trouble to save every window, session and work and start all over again.

So when I needed a virtual optical drive to try out some ISO image I downloaded, I began looking for one that doesn’t need a computer restart. After trying out a couple of ones, I found what I was looking for. It’s called MagicDisc.

MagicDisc allows creation of up to 15 virtual optical drives which become available immediately after installation. No computer reboot is required. Simply start the application and right click on the tray icon to choose which virtual drive you want to open. Then select the image file you want to mount.

MagicDisc supports large number of image file formats:

BIN, IMA/IMG, CIF, NRG, IMG/CCD, MDF/MDS, VCD, VaporCD, P01/MD1/XA, VC4/000, VDI, C2D, BWI/BWT, CDI, TAO/DAO and PDI.

MagicDisc also comes bundled with extra features like the ability to create ISO image from any physical disk, compress and encrypt ISO files, and decompress UIF images to the ISO format.

So if you don’t like restarting Windows, try MagicDisc. It’s a freeware and installs on all Windows version from Windows 98 to Windows 7.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
