Mounting CD ISO Images with Virtual CloneDrive by SlySoft in Windows

You just downloaded an ISO file, but you don’t have any CD-R or DVD-R to burn it to. Maybe your laptop, netbook, and desktop does not have a Burner. CDs are slowly being replaced by Flash drives, and other types of storage like hard drives by many people since Flash drives and hard drives are less likely to get scratched or cracked.

Unfortunately, a lot of people still distribute their software with CD Images (ISO files) which requires you to burn it to a CD in order to install it on your PC.

Well, with a software called Virtual Clone Drive by SlySoft. You can just mount it by double clicking the ISO file or right clicking it and choose “mount virtual drive”  from the Right Click Menu.

You can download Virtual CloneDrive at : http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html

 

To unmount the ISO file just go to My computer, and pick the BD-Rom drive and right click it and click eject.

You can now run your favourite CD images without the need for a CD-R to burn it to. This saves you time and money.
