I already found software to emulate CDs and DVDs like Daemon Tools, but that's not for emulating hard drives. Other hard drive mounting tools (like Windows' own VHD system) don't emulate the original drives properties.
Software Emulate Usb Dongle

To use the software on the road, it would be nice to make a copy of the drives contents on the notebooks internal hard drive and use that copy instead of the original physical hard drive. To make this work with the license check of the software, the physical hard drive should be emulated, including properties like the serial number.
Worst... i put a demostration: VHD / VHDX can be Dynamic using only Windows software (and VirtualBOX)... VirtualBOX is acting as a layer to lie to windows and make windows (the guest) think they are normal internal SATA disks and not VHD / VHDX files... Why windows do not lie to itself (on host) and do the same?
While hard disk emulators can emulate the MBR/GPT structure (not all I must admit, some only emulate a partition), they do not emulate the hard drive part, and so Windows Disk Management does not see it as a hard drive, worst it is not even shown as any kind, not shown at all.
But for what I want it is really harder... yes, I know about Removable Bit on USB sticks... the ones I want can not be flipped... hard-coded in read-only firmware (not flashable)... and Windows is 64-bit, so replacing driver is really ugly, not signed drivers cannot be used... among each reboot must do things and reboot again (activate the accept non-signed drivers on the next reboot), really horrible (it is only for next reboot, after that the system goes to normal and does not accept them anymore till reactivation of sush and reboot) for having ReadyBoost 3x speeded up... not to mention I also do not know if it is even possible to use dynamic disk for ReadyBoost... or I would need both... emulate internal and then emulate USB stick over RAIDed internal emulated ones, etc... too complex.
If there is a USB adaptor connected with the software to fully emulate a USB flash drive or sd card that would be better. We can just boot a raspberry pi without waiting to burn the image. Please no thumbs-down.

That's not all though - once you've got the hardware, you'd also need the software. Linux has some useful kernel USB Gadget drivers ("USB gadget" is another term for USB peripheral/device) such as g_serial and g_ethernet that allow you to plug your device into another computer and be visible as a serial or ethernet-over-USB device (there are others for exposing a device as mass storage, which allow you to use a file as a block device and expose the computer as a mass storage gadget). The BeagleBone Black tends to come with this enabled by default, so you can simply plug it into your PC over USB and see it as a networked device - and I believe it also appears as a mass storage device by using a composite driver (which allows it to appear as multiple USB device types over a single connection.) The Pi Zero can use these, but does not by default. For Windows or other OSes, you'd probably have to write that device driver yourself.
The hardware is already there for computers to act as a USB device in most every computer with USB-C ports, we just need more people working on writing the software to make this something the average user (or even slightly above average user) can set-up and use.
They allow you to transfer files between two PCs. I've been using these kind of cables over ten years ago (in times of Windows XP) and in that times all such cables available to the market required a special driver and software. They let you transfer files only through special file commander, that shiped along with cable drivers on a installation disk and therefore did not allow one PC to act to another as pure USB external device.
I'm not sure, if anything has changed since then and if new solutions allow you only to transfer files using special software and -- if you can force one PC to act as an external device to another PC.
I forgot my WD Passport Ultra disk's hardware encryption password and I am having a Delphi software being programmed for finding this password using brute force method. Original WD Security software will be used for password entries, but WD Security software locks itself at every 5 wrong password entries. Then the drive needs to be physically ejected and plugged in to reset this counter.
Therefore the software being programmed must emulate safely removing and plugging in of an external USB hard disk drive on Windows on software level, as this is necessary for resetting the wrong password counter of WD Security software.
A virtual dongle is a software program designed to emulate a dongle or hardware key. Used in software copy protection, virtual dongles allow the user to access multiple dongle-dependent programs without the necessity of a physical hardware key for each software program. If a dongle is required to run software, that means a portable device equipped with unlocking information needs to be plugged into the computer for the software to run. Because dongles are usually only required on high-end specialized programs, most computer users are unlikely to encounter a program that needs a dongle.
Dongles are used to control software piracy. Software piracy occurs when a program is distributed without the consent of the company that holds the software copyright. The software programs used to design and create media are expensive and prone to theft and copying, and the company does not get paid for its work when programs are distributed without their knowledge. Dongles protect the software program from piracy by blocking its use when a dongle is not in the computer.
Programs that require dongles are usually high-end, professional design or production programs. Dongles make an appearance in software used in creating video, designing theater productions, recording and editing audio, and designing buildings. Examples of programs that require dongles include Pro Tools and Vectorworks.
Creating a virtual dongle requires the use of a software program called an emulator. These programs use software to imitate the function of a device or another software system. An emulator imitates the function of the portable dongle, essentially tricking the computer into thinking a hardware key is plugged into a computer port.
A virtual dongle can work without taking up a plug, which frees up Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports for other devices. Traveling computer users can avoid the clutter of carrying several portable dongles for multiple software programs. Using a virtual dongle also helps protect the original dongle from damage, theft or loss.
Both virtual dongle and physical hardware key systems suffer incompatibility issues. While many dongles have built-in plugs that allow the user to stack multiple dongles in one USB port, conflict issues can cause one or more of the dongles to malfunction. When facing compatibility problems with hardware dongles, switching some of your hardware keys to emulated virtual dongles may fix the malfunction. Likewise, when an emulated dongle does not work, switching back to the hardware key may be necessary.
@jennythelib - I'm not sure if virtual dongles are used for piracy, but my understanding is that pirated software tends to simply omit the part of the code that makes it look for the dongle in the first place. jennythelib June 16, 2011 Can a virtual dongle be used in piracy? It seems like anything that enables you to avoid the physical usb dongle or whatever would be a key feature in piracy. The word "emulator" reminds me of those video game emulators you used to be able to download to play Nintendo, etc. games on your computer.I'm also thinking of those websites that sell phony software installation codes using a random number generator.

When using virtual machines, the principle of hardware virtualization is used and hypervisor software emulates devices used by VMs on the software level. Virtual controllers, disks, DVD-ROM, video card, network cards, input devices, and other devices are usually created in a virtual machine. Sometimes you may need to connect a physical device to a virtual machine directly. This device can be a printer, scanner, USB flash drive, USB hard disk drive, USB smart card reader, security dongles, USB license keys, etc. If your external physical device has the USB interface, you can attach this device to a virtual machine running on VMware Workstation and ESXi server. VMware allows you to connect USB devices to virtual machines by using the USB passthrough feature (passing the device through). This blog post explains how to use this feature on ESXi hosts in VMware vSphere. 2ff7e9595c
