How do you simply disable your virtual drive on your CD ROM?

Updated: 11/7/2022

A Compact Disk Read Only Memory disk cannot be used as a virtual memory, because it is a read-only memory format. Virtual Disk is a method of using the Random Access Memory on the motherboard to simulate a Random Access disk drive, but with much faster access times than is possible for a peripheral device. (One which is not on the motherboard.) Windows uses a virtual memory routine to set aside part of the hard disk drive for additional storage in case the onboard RAM becomes too full to allow rapid processing. Data which is not being manipulated immediately is moved to this section of the hard disk, and then moved back when the processor is ready for it. This allows faster multitasking when using a machine with a small amount of onboard RAM.

Why do you delete upper and lower filters?

Deleting Upper and Lower Filters is a way to solve problems related to viewing the CD/DVD Drive on My Computer. It is common to do this when a person can no longer see the Drive on My Computer, and/or the CD/DVD ROM Drive does not read or write any disc that is inserted into the drive. Upper and Lower Filters are codes in the Registry Editer that represent other, possibly virtual CD/DVD ROM drives that may have been installed from the internet that are corrupted. Deleting the Filters deletes a block on the original CD/DVD ROM drive that is caused by the corrupted programs. In other words, Upper and Lower Filters block the CD/DVD ROM drive from working properly.
