How to mount a DVD image file?
Posted by admin on Aug 13th, 2006
I just downloaded the Windows Vista SDK, as .img DVD image file. Now I would like to use it! Is it possible to mount it without burning a DVD?

Not sure if Vista offers native image mounting, but Porgrams like nero, Daemon tools and Alcohol 120 offers image mounting support"Lloyd Dupont"

You can use Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% to mount it to a virtual drive. Dustin Harper dharper@vistarip.com vistarip.com "Lloyd Dupont"

Hi,Not natively, but I believe Daemon tools will work. Best of Luck,Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" Microsoft MVP mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help www.rickrogers.org"Lloyd Dupont"

You can safely rename Microsofts img to iso, which is more common.Then you can burn it to physical DVD or you can mount it with Virtual Image Drive .slysoft.com/en/virtualclonedrive.htmlSlysofts virtual clone drive is free, simple and it works with Vista, you will have a new Drive Icon under "Computer". Just right click and tell it what image to load. Works with CDs and DVDs. You even can install Vista or Longhorn Server that way.SJ / Germany"Lloyd Dupont" schrieb im Newsbeitrag

I second Virtual Clone Drive. I use it regularly and to date it has had no problems with Vista. Some of the others have been a bit flaky in the earlier releases I have used (they may be fine now tho.)John G."Sascha Jazbec"

Remember Drive Z has some issues and I noted in the past that Mounting on Z may not work (especially if you are in a hurry). I always create Z then create Y and Mount Y. "bomb#20"

I have since turned UAC off and it works ok. If I turn UAC back on, the Virtual CDRom control panel lets me create a drive or drives, X,Y, and Z but they don't show up in Computer or Explorer ??.Running Home Premium. ..
