    first off i would not go clicking on programs if you have no idea
    what they are or what they do.

    the only time i have heard of virtual drives is on a PC
    You can mount and image onto a virtual drive with Daemon Tools and somehow use this virtual drive to run the game without the need to have the disc inserted.

    well no $hit, you have to Shadow the C drive before you can detach it.

    Shadowing the C drive will create a 1-1 image of your current C drive in e:\shadowc\shadowc.img. Nkpatcher will automatically mount this image instead of your actual C drive. You can then install and update the MS dashboard without modifications to the retail booting C drive, you then detach it and use the C drive for XBL. chances are you've allready modded your MS dash so it's of little use to you till you learn more about what you're doing.

    kc

    EDIT: couldn't possibly agree more with Steimy, if you don't know what something is, don't click it.
