Virtual CD Driver for mounting ISOs in Windows 7
Microsoft was gracious enough to give us a Virtual CD tool for Windows XP Pro but not so in Windows 7. So how do we access that library of ISO files we've accumulated? Daemon Tools to the rescue. With Daemon Tools Lite v4.35.5 we once again have the ability to mount ISO images and address them as virtual CD ROM Drives. With over 5 million downloads and counting, it seems that Daemon Tools has become the "go to" solution for those in need of a tool to mount ISO files in Windows 7. A 9Mb download gets you started. Once installed the Daemon Tools utility runs as a Windows service with an icon in the services toolbar. Click on the icon and you'll be presented with a very simple window. Click the CD-ROM image and you'll begin building a media library of ISO files. Right click in the lower window and you can add virtual drive letters. Right click on any of the drive letters and you will be prompted to mount one of the ISO images. Simple.
