i didn't know where to put this but i will post it here
my question is the following
can i make let's say 10+ virtual drives on my pc?
i have 4 with daemon tools and i can make max 31 virtual drives with alcohol 120 %
would it do harm to your pc if you make too much virtual drives?

Each drive would take up computer resources, so the only harm would be slowing down your machine and confusing the hell out of it should something crash.. I couldn't comment on how stable the OS or the applications in question would be when using that many virtual drives..

Some programs/games don't work when you have more than 26 drives (A: to ZSmile, otherwise there should be no problem.

maybe he forgets where he stuck the image, which game is the play disc for multi-disc games ..etc.etc.. (ie he's lazy Wink)

but don't you have to always mount the game in the same virtual drive you installed it with?
