Well first I'd recommend using Alcohol 120% instead of Daemon Tools for your virtual drives.

A virtual drive will create a virtual CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) drive on your Windows computer. It will show up in My Computer as an additional optical drive just like any other cd-rom drive.
The benefit of having such a thing is this:
You can create an image file of a game for example with a program of your choice (recommend Alcohol 120%). Now normally you would have to burn this image to a disk in order to use it, but with a virtual drive you could 'mount' the image so that it appears to be inserted into the virtual drive. The result is that Windows believes there to be a CD-ROM drive present with your game inserted into it.
You can use it like you would normally meaning you can avoid the need to use a real cd.
