# VHD

As Intel users are strongly advised to not RAID0 due to the flags caused by the array "leaking" serials, meaning your real disk serials are easily visible to the anticheat. We recommend a different solution, called a VHD (Virtual Hard Drive). Think of this as creating a sort of blanket over your disk serials. It may work, or it may not work. Either way, it is a good safety precaution to take.

Credits to Intel (the guy, not the brand) for providing so many useful video tutorials!

Notes:

* Do not install 1.1.1.1 like the video says
* Slow down the video to 0.5x if you are not able to follow the steps at a faster speed
* Once you have installed a game launcher onto your C drive (do NOT install the game launcher on the VHD), make sure you go into task manager and set it to disabled:

* EVERY TIME you login to Windows, you must go to the location of the VHD (WIN + r, shell:startup), right click it, and then click "Mount". You must do this BEFORE opening the game launcher.
