Thanks everyone-sounds like either Virtual Clonedrive or MagicISO(Magicdisk) will work. I think I'll try VCD first and see what it looks like.
BTW, in my research, I ran across the fact that Win8/Srv2012 have native .iso mounting options. Good to know about moving forward: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/08/30/accessing-data-in-iso-and-vhd-files.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/10/15/oct-15-blog.aspx Much appreciated! -B From: Andrew S.

What is your favorite, safe, and least expensive, software for mounting an .iso file on this OS? Here are a few I've found, but have never used any: MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM (MagicDisc) http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm (freeware) PowerISO http://www.poweriso.com/index.htm ($29.95) Virtual CloneDrive http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html (freeware) I currently can't burn the .iso to media as we don't have a dual-layer burner available (and the disc would require one due to size). Going to have to look into that as well now.
