KVM over IP Module
Please note that Drive Redirection works on a level which is far below the operating system. That
means that neither the local nor the remote operating system is aware that the drive is currently
redirected, actually. This may lead to inconsistent data as soon as one of the operating systems
(either from the local machine, or from the remote host) is writing data on the device. If write
support is enabled the remote computer might damage the data and the file system on the redirected
device. On the other hand, if the local operating system writes data to the redirected device the drive
cache of the operating system of the remote host might contain older data. This may confuse the
remote host’s operating system. We recommend to use the Drive Redirection with care, especially
the write support.

5.2.2 Virtual Drive
Figure 5-4 USB mass storage option
Set this option to disable the mass storage emulation (and hide the virtual drive) if no image file
is currently loaded. If unset, and no file image will be found it may happen that the host system
will hang on boot due to changes in the boot order, or the boot manager (LILO, GRUB). This
case was reported for some Windows versions (2000, XP), other OS might not be fully excluded.
This behavior depends on the BIOS version used in that machine.
To set this option, press the button “Apply”
