The two most commonly used windows ISO mounting tools out there, daemon tools and virtual clonedrive, are not legal to use for free in a commercial environment, etc. They're restricted to a single computer with a single person, for personal uses only. Reports of spyware/adware etc are also undesirable.
I just spent the effort to really extensively look around and evaluate the whole scene. And here's the conclusion: Use this: This one is actually free (GPL and BSD) http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html#ImDisk ImDisk After running the installer, you need to set the drive to auto-load on vista & win7. open cmd prompt with admin privs sc config imdisk start= auto net start imdisk After completed, you can find the utility under Control Panel This is also legitimately free, opensource, but they retain no copyright notice, so it's sketchy: http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/ WinCDEmu Very useful information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_image_software XP ISO Mounting Tool doesn't work in Vista + 7 All are commercial "free" software (not actually free): daemontools alcohol-soft magiciso virtual clonedrive poweriso ultraiso
