Daemon Tools used to be my favorite Disk Image Tool but after upgrading my laptop to Windows Vista, I made up my mind to take a look at other similar tools. Virtual CloneDrive came up pretty frequent in Google search engine when I did research on new software for my ISO files, so I decided to try this out. I've been using Virtual CloneDrive as an ISO Disk Image Tools for quite some time and honestly, I love this application better than Daemon tools.
Virtual CloneDrive works exactly the same as a physical DVD or CD drive but in reality it exists virtually. You can mount ISO image right from your harddisk or even from a network drive.
Virtual Sheep option is purposely designed to differentiate all virtual drives loaded by the software with its own icon, that way you won't be confused with the real drives.
The second option under "Settings" sets the application to auto-mount the last loaded image for easy resuming of your work at a later time. This is a handy feature especially when your ISO image is buried deep inside folders or when you work on the ISO image on a regular basis. It saves you a lot of time!
The second tab (Language) allows you to choose languages of your preference. Once you choose another language and hit the OK button, the application will automatically be closed. The language will only be set after you reopening the application.
Some of the features included in Virtual CloneDrive are:
- Support image formats such as BIN, ISO, CCD
- Easy to use - just double-click an image file to mount as a drive
- Able to mount 8 virtual drives simultaneously
- It is a FREEWARE
System Requirements
- Minimum of 1 GHz and 256 MB recommended to run this software
- Support Windows 98 until Windows 7
