Abstract
A method includes loading an optical media image representing the content of a physical optical media device from an optical media image source into random access memory (RAM) and emulating the physical optical media device using the optical media image. The optical media image is in an optical media format. A system includes an optical media image stored in random access memory (RAM), the optical media image being in an optical media format, and including operating system (OS) code executable by a microprocessor. A RAM disk program accesses the optical media image according to the optical media format.
