How to mount an ISO
How to mount an ISO is a common problem. There are many ways, and many programs. I have been using the wildly popular program, Daemon Tools, until I made this tutorial. When I am forced to do research… I do it. I have come upon a program called Virtual CloneDrive. This program is completely free, and, trumps daemon tools in every way. Daemon tools gets a little complicated when you need to mount something to it, and sometimes it can get annoying to sift through folders in the ‘open…’.
Mount ISO Windows 7
Mounting ISO’s in Windows 7 is not as easy as in Windows 8. Windows 8 has made a new function that allows you to just double click the ISO to mount it automatically into a virtual cd rom.
Normally to mount a drive in daemon tools or similar program you need to do the following:
- Right click the icon on the tray
- Hover over the amount of drives
- Select which drive you want to mount with
- Find where the exact destination for the file.
Mount ISO Free
This program completely eliminates this headache by letting you double click the ISO to mount it! That’s it! Just double click the ISO and instantly that ISO is now in a virtual drive. Have you ever seen something so easy? Now of course if you like doing it the old skool way and want to sift through folders, then by all means do so. You can do that by right clicking the virtual drive in computer and select the right option. But why would you ever want to do that? (Unless you need more than one cd mounted). And while you are at it don’t use shortcuts either, go find the destination folder for each program you have and double click the exe. Oh… that sounds like a waste? Well, wake up, no more going to the directory, just do it the easy way, switch to this program! See the light! It’s such a breeze!
Remove Shortcut arrow
While we are on the topic of shortcuts, ever notice the little arrow on the bottom left of every shortcut? Well, as a bonus I added to this tutorial how to remove that annoying little arrow. Yeah, you know the one. The program I show you has so many uses it is worth it to download even if you don’t mind the shortcut arrow. For example, you can change the computer name, disable aero effects, etcetera, the list goes on for a while. Download it and explore for yourself, just be careful mind you!
