Freeware utility for Windows 7, Windows 8 or Vista to mount ISO Images.


Virtual CloneDrive

Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually. Image files generated with CloneDVD or CloneCD can be mounted onto a virtual drive from your hard-disk or from a network drive and used in the same manner as inserting them into a normal CD/DVD drive.



Features


  •     Supports all common image formats such as ISO, BIN, CCD
  •     Supports up to 8 virtual drives at the same time
  •    Easy to use - just double-click an image file to mount as a drive
  •     Virtual CloneDrive is freeware, you may use it at no cost.


System Requirements


  •     An IBM-compatible personal computer with a minimum 500 MHz Pentium-class microprocessor
    (1 GHz recommended) and 128 MB RAM (256 MB recommended)
  •     Windows 2000/XP/XP64/VISTA/VISTA64/Win7/Win7-64/Win8/Win8-64
  • If you use Windows 2000 or Windows XP you must be an administrator to install Virtual   CloneDrive



The utility that we will use is called Virtual Clone Drive. This utility will let you mount .ISO, .CCD, .DVD, .IMG, .UDF and .BIN files. Download the utility and start the setup process.

Select Yes or OK at the hardware prompt and continue. You might have to restart your computer. Now you should be able to mount any ISO image by just double-clicking on the file. You can also right-click on the cd-rom drive to mount or unmount an image.








Notes: If you are going to reinstall this utility, make sure you uninstall it first, or you’ll BSOD yourself repeatedly. Also, as of the latest version, this utility should work on Windows 7 or Vista 64 bit edition.
