If all you want to do is mount a single virutal drive then there may be cheaper options, I use Alcohol 120% from www.alcohol-soft.com $39, I highly recommend it. Loads pretty much all formats, including their own. You can mount up to 31 virutal drives at one time, although I've never had the need for quite that many.
I use it on my kids computer to use virtual copies of their game and educational disks - so I can keep the masters safely tucked away and undamamged. My 4-year old son LOVES to handle disks, and once put a Scooby Doo DVD into mommys automatic stapler - now he knows not to do THAT again! ;) Lou -----Original Message----- From: Malcolm Greene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Any suggestions on a utility to mount an ISO CD image file as a virtual CD/DVD drive vs. burning throw-away CD/DVD's everytime I need to install from a downloaded ISO file? There appear to be a lot of options for Linux - I'm looking for a Windows 2000/XP solution. I've been googling and found: 1. Daemon Tools (with warning to avoid) http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5 2. A free, unsupported MS utility <http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df 02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe> 3. ISO Buster ($30) http://www.smart-projects.net/cdrecovery.php Any one have any suggestions on what to use or avoid - or should I just burn a damn CD and be done with it ;) Malcolm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
